Will of CHARLES GORDON SEN'R
Nov. Term A. D. 1811

Wilkes County, North Carolina
Will Book 3, Page 14

In the name of God amen, I CHARLES GORDON of the County of Wilkes in the State of North Carolina being old & having lately received an accidental wound which may terminate in my disolution by death but being of sound & disposing mind & memory here think proper to make my last will & Testament in manner and form following.
In the first place I recommend my Soul to God who gave to be disposed of at his pleasure & my after death to be buried in the usual form of intering the remains of deceased persons in this County.
Touching U concerning my worldly estate this Will is designed to be a confirmation of several Deeds of Gifts, bills of Sale & gifts without deed by me already made & which are herafter mentioned in order to hinder disputes & suits at Law. To wit, in the first place I ratify & confirm to CHAPMAN GORDON my son two tracts of land agreeable to the butts & bounds described in a Deed of Conveyance bearing date the 4th of October 1803 & attested by WILLIAM HACKET & JAMES HACKET & NATHANIEL GORDON & Signed by myself with my Seal annexed in manner & form as contained and expressed in said Deed, to wit, One tract containing two Hundred acres, the other One Hundred acres as mentioned in said conveyance. It is my Will to confirm to the said CHAPMAN GORDON all the several articles of property described in a Deed of Sale for myself to the said CHAPMAN GORDON bearing date the 26th day of Dec'r 1805 which deed of Sale mentions as a consideration the payment & discharge of a judgment which the said CHAPMAN GORDON recovered against me in the County Court of Wilkes to the amount of two thousand eight hundred dollars or there abouts the said Deed of Sale is attested by RICHARD OWENS, NATHANIEL GORDON & ELIZABETH RAY & signed by me with my seal thereunto annexed. It is my Will to confirm to CHAPPMAN [sic] GORDON all the property mentioned in a Deed of Gift made by me to the said CHAPMAN GORDON bearing date the 17th of Jan'y 1803 attested by NATHANIEL GORDON, JOSHUA BADGER, JOHN WESTLEY GORDON & FANY DOBSON, which said Deed was proved & recorded in Wilkes County to wit at Oct'r Term 1803. It is my Will that CHAPMAN GORDON have all that part of a tract of Land that lies West of a line agreed upon between myself & my son NATHANIEL GORDON now dec'd & CHAPMAN GORDON said line is a branch so far as disputes this bequest that runs between the Houses of CHAPMAN GORDON & the said NATHANIEL GORDON dec'd the original grant of this tract to me is dated the 24th day of Dec'r 1799 No. 2006. The other part of this tract I will to the Heirs of the said NATHANIEL GORDON dec'd. It is my Will that a Deed of Sale from me to CHAPMAN GORDON for three hundred acres of land dated the 8th of Jany. 1803 & attested by NATHANIEL GORDON, RICHARD ALLEN & NANCY GORDON be ratified & confirmed. It is my Will that CHAPMAN GORDON have a tract of my land of One hundred acres lying on the little fork lf Lewises fork within the County Wilkes being originally granted to WILLIAM FLOID & by him conveyed to me. It is my Will that CHAPMAN GORDON have a mare of my property. I hereby Will to the said CHAPMAN GORDON all my other property both real & personal of which the said CHAPMAN is not this possessed. I do further ratify all other Deeds of Sale both of Real & Personal property heretofore made t the said CHAPMAN GORDON & not herein particularly refered to the property described in the foregoing part of this my Will I desire to remain to the said CHAPMAN GORDON his heirs & assigns forever.
It is my Will that the heirs & legal Representatives of my son NATHANIEL GORDON dec'd have hold & enjoy all the tracts & parcels of Land which I now have or have had any right, title or Interest in below & to the North East of a branch that runs between the Houses of the said NATHANIEL dec'd & my son CHAPMAN GORDON as far as said branch has heretofore been the line of partition between the said NATHANIEL & the said CHAPMAN to follow such other lines of partition as have been heretofore settled & agreed upon between the said NATHANIEL CHAPMAN & myself as the divisional lines of their landed property on the coastors of the Yadkin, I do hereby ratify & confirm the several deeds of Gifts, bills of Sale of personal property & Deeds of conveyances of Lands heretofore made by myself to the said NATHANIEL GORDON, now dec'd ratifying his right to all my lands which the dec'd seized & possessed of whether by deed, Gift or otherwise and desire that the same may descend & go to the heirs & legal representatives of the said NATHANIEL GORDON either as he may have disposed of the same or as the Law in such cases may direct. I further ratify & confirm to the heirs & legal Representatives of the said NATHANIEL all the right title interest & claim of all the property both Real & personal either conveyed by Deed or otherwise which my said son NATHANIEL dec'd seized & possessed of & of which I might have right, title or claim to, to be and remain to them their heirs and assigns forever.
I also will ratify & confirm to the heirs of my son CHARLES GORDON & to his legal Representatives all the property whether real or Personal which he rec'd of me either by Deed Gift or other legal Gift or transfer I am content with any disposition which he may have made of the same. But be it remembered that it was one my wish & desire to have bestowed upon the now Infant children of the said CHARLES a further & last bequest but the Executors of the said CHARLES have lately exacted of me & obliged me to pay to them for the use of the said Infant heirs Devisees or Children of the said CHARLES a considerable sum of money upon a bond which was once before paid to their father by me in his lifetime & the said bond was fully paid & discharged to him their father & in my opinion the same was well known to the Persons who brought suit which has deprived me the Honour of leaving them any final Legacy & now consistant with my duty I am only left the Priviledge of confirming on their behalf the Gifts of Conveyances made to their deceased Father. I therefore will & desire that the heirs of my son CHARLES GORDON & the legal Representatives, devisees, or any claiming under them shall not be entitled to take any further part or share of my Estate further than as herein before expressed. It is the will & desire of me that every part of this will be carried into effect according to its true Intent and meaning.
I do hereby authorise, constitute & appoint CHAPMAN GORDON the sole Executor of this my last Will & Testament & that I do hereby revoke, disannul & make void all former Wills and bequests whether written or noncupative in the most positive & absolute terms & do declare & publish this & this only to be my last Will & Testament by me made here upon Earth. In Testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand & affixed my Seal the 7th day of May 1808.
