That is to say, first and principally, I commend my soul to Almighty God my Creator, assuredly believing that I shall receive full pardon and remission of all my sins and be saved by the precious death and merits of my Blessed Saviour and Redeemer, Christ Jesus, and my body to the earth from whence it was taken, to be buried in such decent and Christian manner as to my Executors hereafter named shall be though meet and convenient. And as touching such worldly estate as the Lord in mercy hath lent me, my will and desire is the same shall be employed and bestowed as hereafter by this my Will is expressed. And first, I do revoke, renounce, frustrate and make void all Wills and bequests by me formerly made and declare and appoint this my Last Will and Testament. Item -- I give and bequeath unto my three youngest sons, namely John, Benjamin, and Jonathan Dunn, five hundred acres of land lying and being in the county of Caroline on the south side of the Mattaponie River to be equally divided amongst them and their heirs forever. It being a tract of land containing six hundred acres of which I gave John Williamson one hundred acres at the upper end of the said land for the seeding, and saving the other five hundred acres of land. Futher, my Will and desire is that if I do not acknowledge the above one hundred acres of land to the said John Williamson before my death, that my Executors hereafter named shall and may acknowledge the above one hundred acres of land to the said John Williamson. Item -- I give and bequeath to my daughter Susanna Smith one shilling. Item -- I give and bequeath to my daughter Mary Gray one shilling. Item -- I lend the use of my present estate to my loving wife Alice Dunn, during her natural life or till the day of marriage, and if she should marry again, to have her thirds. Item -- I give and bequeath after my wife's death or marriage again, all my negroes to be equally divided amongst my five sons, namely Thomas, William, John, Benjamin, and Jonathan Dunn, and all the rest of my estate, real and personal, to be equally divided amongst my six youngest children, namely Alice Hays, Sarah Williamson, John Dunn, Benjamin Dunn, and Jonathan Dunn. Item -- I do hereby ordain, constitute and appoint my beloved wife Alice Dunn and my son Thomas Dunn and my son William Dunn my whole sole Executors of this, my Last Will and Testament, as witness my hand and seal this fifth day of February, 1731.
