      WILL OF GEORGE TANKERSLEY
      I, George Tankersley, of the county of Caroline, being of sound mind and memory, do make this my last will and testament.
      Item. I give unto my son, Reuben Tankersley, all my estate, both real and personal, and bind him to pay the following legacies, to wit:

      To Reuben B Rose, who married my daughter Nancy two thousand dollars. One thousand dollars to be paid at expiration of one year from the date of my death, and one thousand at the expiration of two years.

      And to my daughter, Dolly Tankersley, a legacy of the same amount, and to be discharged by the like payments.

      And I do further will that my son Reuben give to my daughter Dolly a negro boy named Jefferson.

      It is my will and desire that my son Reuben raise, take care of and well educate my grandson, Benjamin Franklin Tankersley. And that when he arrives at the age of twenty-one years that my said son Reuben pay unto him one thousand dollars, provided that my said grandson Benjamin Franklin Tankersley so soon as he is twenty-one years old confirms the title of parcel or tract of land laterly sold to a certain George Robinson, of this county and which land was formerly the property of my son, Nathaniel Tankersley, who was the father of my said grandson Benjamin Franklin Tankersley, which said land is about to be conveyed to the said George Robinson by my said son Reuben and contains about 128 acres. And I do appoint my son Reuben Tankersley executor to this my last will and testament. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal, this sixth day of November, one thousand eight hundred and fourteen. George Tankersley (seal) John Halloway, Robert G Halloway, John Holloway, Jr.
