February 15, 1834
In
the name of God amen. I, Benjamin Ezell, of the County of Mecklenburg and State
of Virginia being of sound mind and memory do make this my last will and
testament in manner and form following:
Item 1. My wish is that all my
just debts be paid.
Item 2. I leave to my beloved wife Elizabeth Ezell
all my slaves to do as she thinks proper, to sell or dispose of as she thinks
proper. Also all my stock & all kinds of my household and kitchen furniture to
do with as she thinks best. I leave also to my wife my lands as long as she
lives and it is my wish and desire at the death of my wife that all the property
that she may have in her possession may be equally divided among my living
children or their heirs. And lastly I nominate and appoint my wife Eliza
executor to this my last will and testament hereby revoking all others
heretofore made by me. In testimony whereof I, the said Benjamin Ezell, have
hereto set his hand and offered his seal this 15th day of February 1834.
