- [WILL OF PHILIP PEARCE]
- Isle of Wight County, Virginia - Book III, pp. 77-78
I, Philip Pearce, being in a very sickly and queasy estate and knowing not the uncertain time that the Lord shall be pleased to call me out of this wicked world, do hereby make my will and testament.
First and foremost I commend my soul into the hands of Almighty God, my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, and I commit my body to the ground, and secondly I give and bequeath to my dearly beloved wife, Sarah, my house and plantation and two hundred acres of land belonging to the said plantation enduring her natural life; and after the death of my dearly beloved wife, my land and plantation shall fall to my son. Nathan. And if my son Nathan should die without issue, my said land and plantation shall fall to my son Arthur. If my son Arthur should die without issue, my house and plantation shall fall to my son, Simon.
And I give and bequeath to my dearly beloved wife, Sarah, all my moveable estate, within dower and without, enduring her natural life. But if my wife should marry, my moveable estate should be equally divided between my Wife and my (son) Richard and my son Edward and my son Nathan and my son Simon.
And I do appoint my beloved wife, Sarah, and my son, Richard, for to be my executors, to receive and pay out as though I was present.
Given under my hand this second year of the reign of our sovereign lord, King George, and the 16th day of January, 1727.
Philip P. Pearce (SEAL)
Signed, sealed, attested and witnessed in the presence of us. Peter Mack Bond. George (His X Mark) Tibbley. Richard (His X Mark) Ashley.
