- My will further is that my Negro Jack be sold at private sale on the account of the probability of his being near his wife and also that my two old negroes Wak and his wife remain with either of us during our lifetime and then not to be sold but to have the priviledge to live with any of my children whom they will choose.
- I appoint my sons Daniel and Jesse as my excutors of this my last will and testament . In witness whereof I have set my hand and seal this 2nd day of September 1826.
