William wrote his will on January 25th, 1716. He left to son Edward his plantation and house and all the land on the south side of a line running up a valley called Long Valley. His son John received the land on the north side of the line on both sides of Mill Swamp. In addition to land he gave slaves to both Edward and John. William signed his will with an "X."
