John Farguson "of Truro Parish."
To Grandson, Josiah Farguson, only son of my oldest son John Farguson, land in King and Queen County, which was bequeathed by my father to be equally divided between my three brothers -- James, Joshua and Joseph -- as tenants for life only and not to them and their heirs forever by which means I became entitled to reversion of the same as eldest son and heir at law of my said father and as two of my brothers have been dead some years and I lived at so great a distance that I never had occasion to make use of the said land I think it proper to mention it thus particularly to show that I never intended to quit or give up my right or claim to the said land having always been of opinion that my father never intended to deprive my heirs of the said land but only to give it to my three brothers during their lives because he was at that time disobliged with me for not settling and living on the said land in his lifetime which he was desirous I should do.
Item. I do give and bequeath all my Negroes, mulattoes and other estate that I am now possessed of to be equally divided between my son Joshua Farguson and my daughter Mary Coffer only that each of my children Joshua and Mary shall keep the girls which I have already given them to wit: Joshua shall keep Jane Simpson and Mary keep Michol Simpson and the rest to be equally divided between them by my friends William Peake, William Bailey and William Kitchen or any two of them within three months after my decease.
Lastly, I do constitute and appoint my son Joshua Farguson my sole Executor and revoking all others I do declare this to be my last
will and testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this 30th day of October 1760.
