I William Hill of Newhanover County in the State of North Carolina do make & ordain this to be my last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former wills by me heretofor made. First I desire to be buried in a frugal manner, without any unnecessary Expence, & that my Just Debts may be paid as soon as may be after my Decease and touching what worldly substance it hath pleased God to Bless me with. I give and dispose of the same as follows, vize Imprimis. I do hereby give devise & bequeath to my dear & well beloved Wife Margaret Hill all my Estate real, personal & mixed, for and during the Time she shall continue my Widow and no longer, with full Power to direct & manage the whole as she shall think best & most for the Benefit of her & my Children; But if she should marry again, my Will & desire is that the whole Estate should be then equally divided between her & my four sons, so that each shall have an equal Proportion of it, one fifth to my said Wife & one fifth to each of my sons. But if my said Wife should never marry I mean that she should have it in her Power to give off to my Sons as they Come of Age, such a proportion of my Estate as she thinks best so as not to exceed to either a fifth of the same; & after her Death (if then my Widow) to give Devise & bequeath the whole or such part of my Estate as may then Remain in her hand, in such proportion as she pleases to my said four sons, John, Wm Henry, Nat Moore & Thomas. I do hereby nominate & appoint my Wife sole Executrix of this my Will so long as she continues my Widow & no longer & when she shall marry if ever she does, then I appoint my four sons John William Henry Nat?l Moore & Thomas Executors of the Same, each to Qualify as they come of Age. [Crossed through: My Intention also is that my Executrix may if she pleases sell any Part of the Estate real or Personal so that the proceeds of the same shall be for the benefit of my Children provided (indecipherable)] W Hill Words of Will written with my own hand the Last Clause Erased, & Several Interlineations in the same hand writing.
