It is my will amnd disire that all the negroes composing my sd estate in slaves shall be valued at a twelve months credit as well Samuel who is in the possession of my daughter Rosey and Joseph formerly in the ossession of my son Samuel now in the possession of John Duncan which two Negroes men herein before named shall be valued from the best information that can be had at the time of the rest of my negroes being valued should it be inconvenient to have them at the place of such valuation and I give and bequeath to my daughter Rosey the aforesaid boy Samuel at his valuation as a part of her portion of my estate but as my said daughter Rosey has had the use and profits since he has been able to labor then shall be deducted accountable wages for his services out of her portion of the balance of my estate, to my son Samuel Duncan I give and bequest the aforesaid negro boy Joseph at his valueation but there is not to be any deduction for the use of said Joseph as my son Samuel has been unfortunate in trading him off but the value of Joseph is to be a part of my son Samuel's portion of my estate. It is my will and desire that my heirs and representatives shall meet after my death and if they can agree make a division of my property without sales it is my will and desires that my negroes be valued at twelve month credit and have the liberty of chosing their masters on Misters of the family who I wish and desire should take them at their valuation provided those of my heirs who they make choice of can give bond and aproved security it is my earnest wish that husbands and be kept together and women & their children unless they chose to seperate. If my children refuse to take said negroes at said valuation they then may chose amongst strangers that part of my said estate that would have fell to my son George Duncan had he a lived. I wish to be equally divided between said George's widow Mary Duncan and his daughter Ann Roberts and not to be disposed of in any way but to decend to the children of her body equally at her deth amd it is my will and desire that, that part of my estate that would to my son Rawly Duncan had he a lived I wish to be equally divided amongst his four sons William Willis George and John and lastly I constitute and appoint my three sons John, Samuel and Benja Duncan executors of this my last will and testament revoking all other wills by me made established this to be my last will and testament.
