Will of Mrs. Elizabeth Seawell.

Her will was dated Sept. 22, 1786.

In the name of God, Amen. I, Elizabeth Seawell, being old and weak, but of sound mind, memory and understanding, do make, ordain and appoint this to be my last will and testament, that, whereas my deceased husband, Joseph Seawell, by his last will, gave me the right of disposing of half my dower (lands excepted) at my death, in case I should not marry, to whom I please. I do, therefore, dispose of the half of my said dower in manner and form following:

Item. I give to my granddaughter Elizabeth Seawell one negro woman named Jinny, with her future increase, except the first child she has, which said child I give to my granddaughter, Mary Seawell.

Item. I give to my grandson John Boswell Seawell one negro boy named Wilson, to him and his heirs forever.

Item. I give to my grandson John Seawell, son of my son John, one negro boy named Ralph, to him and his heirs forever, and I do also give to my said grandson all and every other part of my said dower and all the remainder part of my estate, to him and his heirs forever.

I do hereby appoint my said grandson my executor to this my last will. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 22d day, Sept., 1786.

Signed, sealed and delivered in the presence of Richard Coleman, Banr Pipen. her
