WILL
William Salisbury
Fayette County, Pennsylvania Will Book 1, pgs 77&78

In the name of God, Amen. The first day of October, one thousand seven hundred and ninety two, I, William Salisbury, of George Township, Fayette County and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Yeoman being very sick and weak in body, but of perfect mind and memory thanks be given to God, therefore; Calling unto mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, do make and ordain this my last will and testament: That is to say principally and first of all I give and recommend my soul into the hands of Almighty God that gave it me and my body I recommend to the earth to be buried in decent Christian burial at the discretion of my Executrix and Executor, nothing doubting but at the General Resurrection I shall receive the same again by the mighty power of God; and as touching such worldly estate wherewith it has pleased God to bless me in this life. I give, devise and dispose of the same in the following manner and form: First, my will is that Sarah, my beloved wife, have the management of all my estate, real and personal, during her natural life or whilst she continues my widow, but in case she marries then she is to give the estate, real and personal, into the hands of my sons, Samuel and James, only her bed and bed clothes and weaving apparel, two cows, a horse and saddle, and at her death or marriage the lands whereon I now live to be divided equally between my two sons, Samuel and James, and my son Thomas to be schooled and raised out of the profits of the place and when fit to be put to a trade, have him put to such trade as he chooses, and when he comes of full age he is to have thirty pounds out of the piece of the plantation in the mountain sold to Dorrel. My daughter, Agness is likewise to be schooled and raised and I allow her to get twenty pounds of the piece of said place sold to Dorrell. I give to my daughter Sarah her weaving apparel, bed and bed clothes, a cow such as my wife shall please to give her and her heifer and two sheep and at the death of my wife I allow my son John to get my big bible. I give to my son William my Black Colt, to my daughter Elizabeth I give an hundred weight of pork. and if my son James does not stay and work on the lands aforesaid equal with my Samuel and help to maintain my wife aforesaid and the two youngest children aforesaid then he is not to have any of the lands, but in case my two sons Samuel and James lives on said lands and is industrious in maintaining my wife and the two youngest children then the land aforesaid shall descend to them, their heirs and assigns to be divided equally as aforesaid, otherwise the delinquent shall loose his part of the land and whatever stock and moveables are on the said lands. At the decease of my wife, my son Samuel shall have two thirds thereof and my son James one third. I allow a lawful deed of conveyance to be made to James Deal for his lands which is in the warrant with the place I live on. And I do hereby constitute my beloved wife, Sarah, aforesaid to be my Executrix and my son, Samuel, Executor of this my last will and testament and I do hereby utterly disallow, revoke and disannul all and every other former testaments, wills, legacies and bequests and executors be in any ways before named, willed and bequeathed, ratifying and confirming this and no other to be my last will and testament. In witness whereof I have here unto set my hand and seal the day and year above written.
