      Charles Co. Wills, B 1.190
      Joseph Joy's Will
      I, Joseph Joy of CC, planter, am sick and weak of body but of sound and disposing mind, memory, and understanding. Firstly, I want my debts and funeral charges paid. I devise 50 £of my estate to remain in the hands of my executors, to be by them applied towards the education of such children of William and Mary Parish, objects of charity, as they may think proper.
      To my niece Eleanor Joy, daughter of my brother William Joy - I pair of good bobs.
      To my son Benjamin Joseph Joy - the rest of my real and personal estate, when he turns 21. If he dies underage without heirs, then my real estate is to be sold, and the sale money along with my personal estate is to be equally divided between the children of my sister, Anne Ford, and my nephew, Phillip Joy Ford, son of my sister, Elizabeth Ford.
      It is my desire that the whole of my estate shall be at the risque of my son, Benjamin Joseph Joy, and that my executors shall he neither gainer nor loser by their executorship. I desire that my sd son, Benjamin Joseph Joy and his estate, shall remain under the guardianship and care of my executors until he turns 21.
      Executors: my friends John Ford, Jezreel Penn, & Jonathan Yates.
      Signed Jun 1, 1783 - Jos Joy. Wit - John Macpherson, Notly Dutton, Jon Yates.

      Codicil:
      I, the afd Joseph Joy, having continued in a sound mind and judgment, and having reconsidered my former will, have thought it prudent to make this codicil to it, by way of explanation - viz - I stipulated that if my afd son died without heirs and underage, that my whole estate should be sold and divided between the children of my sister, Anne Ford, and my nephew, Phillip Joy Ford, son of my sister, Elizabeth Ford. My will now is that if my son dies underage and without heirs, and if my sd nephew, Philip Joy, should also die without heirs before he is of full age, and my sd sister Elizabeth should have no child surviving, then the whole produce of my estate shall be equally divided, as afd, among the children only of my sd sister Ann.
      Signed Jun 20, 1783 - Jos Joy. Wit - John Macpherson, Notly Dutton.
      Probated on Jul 5, 1783 by the oaths of Major Jonathan Yates & Jezreel Penn, the executors, and by the oaths of witnesses the Revd John McPherson, Notly Dutton, and Jonathan Yates.
