Will of KEMP PLUMMER-1826 |
|||
| In the
name of God. I KEMP PLUMMER a citizen of the town of Warrenton
believing that I have a sufficient portion of understanding and
discretion to make a will and testament, do hereby make ordain
publish and declare the following to be my last will and testament. To make any disposition of my soul would be idle negatory and vain since I am convinced it will be disposed of according to the will and pleasure of that Almighty Being who has heretofore sustained me and who has blessed me with the best of wives the best of children and the best of friends. To his divine mandates I bow with that submission and reverence which a creative ought to bear towards his Creator, As to the property which he in his divine goodness has blessed me with, I give devise and bequeath as follows- To my dearly beloved wife I give devise and bequeath forever the following Negroes: FANNY and her three children, EPPES, ISAAC and WINNY together with such children as he she may hereafter have, ANNA and her three children, HARIET, JULIA and LIZY or ELIZA and such children as she may hereafter have, GEORGE commonly called house GEORGE, JOICE, SALLY, NORVAL, MARY and her children SUSY or SUSAN and SIMON and such children as she may hereafter have, also five other Negroes such as she may select from my whole stock of Negroes to her and her heirs forever. In like manner I give her all my household and kitchen furniture such part of my stock of horses, cattle, hogs and sheep as she may select, such part also of my implements of husbandry as she may choose. Also my carriage and harness, my waggon and horse cart. I also give to her during her life my houses and lots in the town of Warrenton together with all my lands adjoining thereto which I purchased of the late MDUKE JOHNSON, also of my land adjoining the race ground which I purchased of JOSEPH GREEN all without impeachment of waste. To my dear daughter LUCY I bequeath the piano forte and chest of drawers I purchased for her and to my dear son KEMP I bequeath my watch and sleeve buttons. To my dear wife I further devise and bequeath forever the land in Halifax which I obtained by her marriage called Gatewood. All the rest of my property and estate of whatever kind and description I give and devise to all my children equally to be divided between them to them and their heirs forever in making this division however my dear daughter MARY ANN ALSTON, my dear son HENRY L. PLUMMER, my dear son WILLIAM PLUMMER, my dear son AUSTIN PLUMMER and my dear daughter LUCY M. BATTLE are to bring into account as follows, MARY ANN ALSTON, two thousand dollars, HENRY L. PLUMMER nineteen hundred dollars, WILLIAM PLUMMER nine hundred dollars, AUSTIN PLUMMER four hundred and eighty dollars and LUCY M. BATTLE three hundred and seventy five dollars they having been advanced to that amount more than my other children. To my son WILLIAM I give my law books. Should it ever be the wish of my dear wife to sell the houses and lots in the town of Warrenton together with the lands which I have bequeathed to her during her life it is my will and desire that my Executors hereafter named or those who qualify or the survivors of those who qualify, sell the whole thereof upon such terms and conditions as they may think proper, in which event they are to give my said wife one third of the purchase money which one third I devise and bequeath to her forever. The remainder or reversionary interest in the property given my wife during her life is upon her death equally to be divided among all my children or the representatives of those who may be dead they standing in the shoes of those they represent, in making this division reference is to be had to the advancements before mentioned. Let me die at what period of the year I may my dear wife and such family as she may have are to enjoy the provisions then on hand, and my Executors will also out of the crop made during the year of my death supply her with provisions of all kinds for another year. My Executors or those who may qualify are hereby authorized to sell or dispose of any part of my estate not specially given away to convert it into any other property, or to do any thing else which they may think most conducive to the interest of my children. I hereby make constitute and appoint my worthy and esteemed friends JOHN HALL, PETER R. DAVIS, RICHARD BULLOCK, my son in law ALFRED ALSTON and my sons HENRY and WILLIAM PLUMMER Executors of this my will. I have no hopes that they will al qualify though it is my wish that they should, but I am well convinced they will give their friendly aid and advice to those who may qualify. If I have any enemies I beg their forgiveness, for myself I can say I die in peace and charity with all mankind. In testimony of this being my last will I have hereunto set my hand and seal this the twenty first day of December in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and twenty five.
