I HOPE THAT THIS CLEARS UP THE CONFUSION AND ALTHOUGH IT IS POSSIBLE FROM THE RECORDS I HAVE OF LAND PURCHASES ETC.

Bailey for his land, but if it should so happen that the money should not be raised in that time, they must be continued together till the twenty fifth of December following.

    And my will further is, that when Captn Bailey has received payment for his land which I expect may be done in the time I have allotted that the remainder of my Negroes which I have not before mentioned in this my will, be equally divided between my sons, John, Bennit, Thomas, William, and my daughters, Martha, Alice, Elizabeth, Lucy, and Salley, to them and their heirs forever.

    Item; I also give the other half of my stock of cattle, hogs, sheep, and horses to be equally divided between my four sons to them and their heirs forever.
