In the name of God, I PETER O'NEAL of Providence township, Bedford County,
being sound in mind, memory and understand do make and publish this
my last will & testament as follows - I desire after by decease all
my just debts to be paid and my body desently[sic] buried - and my wife
Sarah should she survive me to have all my Estate, both real and personal
during her natural life - and after the decease of myself and my wife Sarah
I give all my real Estate and personal Estate to be equally devided amongst
all my children, except SOLOMON O'NEAL, my son. I give him nothing, as
he has been otherwise provided for.
And my son JOSEPH O'NEAL, I give him an equal share with the rest of
my children of the tract of land I live on and my personal estate, but
any of my other lands I give him no part.
I give my two sons DAVID and SAMUEL O'NEAL fifty dollars more
than any of my other children (each one of them) as they have continued
to live with me.
I desire my Executors hereafter mentioned to sell all my Real Estate
to the best advantage and as soon as convenient after myself and my wife's
decease, and convey the same in fee simple -
As I have sold a tract of land to my son WILLIAM if I should die before
I convey the same to him, I hereby empower my Executors to convey the same
to him agreeable to the agreement between us.
I appoint my two sons JOHN and JAMES O'NEAL executors of this my last
will and testament to carry the same in effect.
Witness my hand and seal the 11th day of April 1832.
