Note: this book is typewritten all caps, but I have decided not to transcribe the
publication in this manner. Beware that this is no longer a "primary source" as
this will be it’s 3rd (or more) transcription from the original. The first transcription
being what was transcribed from the original will into the court records (no copier’s or
scanners back then!).

Being weak and sick in body, et.
I give all my estate both real and personal to my beloved wife MARY CARRICO during her
natural life or widowhood. But should she marry again it is my mill that she take her
third according to law but should she not marry it is my will that at her death that all
my property both real and personal be equally divided among all of my children herein
named that is to say that I have given my son JAMES M. CARRICO one horse and saddle worth
say sixty dollars, he has also bought of me seventeen and one half acres of land the said
that I got from WALTER O’DANIEL for which he has paid me and is not to come into the
estimate of his portion. I have promised him twenty two acres and one half adjoining the
same one he has built a house which twenty two and one half acres is to be valued to him
when my property shall be divided among my children.
I have given unto my son BENEDICT CARRICO one horse and saddle worth sixty dollars.
I have given to my son GEORGE CARRICO one horse and saddle worth sixty dollars.
