“late of Norfolk Town in Virge”
Daughter Ann Wilson – all my debts due me in North Carolina and any residue of my estate after payment of my debts. I brought an action against James Ivey eleven years ago for a large sum of money, which was dismissed when my lawyer was bribed. My lawyer paid 600 pounds to Col Samuel Boush and then bought parcel of land on which he built a brick house, and also bought a Negro. The said Ivey went to Paramarrabo on the coast of Surrinam when I sent a pilate (sic) with him and he sold all my cargo for cash and paid me no more than wages due to the saylors (sic) and this is the reason I let Virginia. I offered William Freeman the other half of the money which should b e recovered from the said ivey if he would bring suit against him in my name as he had married my daughter Tabitha, but he refused. To my daughter Tabitha Freeman – one shillin. My demands against the estate of James Ivey, dec’d are to be equally divided between my son Lemuel, my daughter Mason, my daughter Elizabeth and my daughter Ann.
