I Peter Guerrant of the parish of King William, in the county of Cumberland, being in health of body and of sound and disposing mind and memory, praise be Almighty God for the same, but considering the uncertainty of human life, do make this my last will and testament in manner following: That is to say, my just debts being paid first and satisfied.

Item: If in case, my beloved wife Magdalene Guerrant should happen to be now with child, and it should happen to be a boy, I give him thirty-five pounds Current money, to be laid out of my personal estate, for him and his heirs forever, but, if it should happen that my beloved wife is with child of a daughter, my will is that I give her fifteen pounds Current money, for her and her heirs forever.

Caesar only excepted which is before given to my son Daniel Guerrant, but in case that it should happen that there be not movable estate enough to satisfy the legacies before given, my will is that Betty shall be sold by way of outcry to satisfy the afore given legacies. Item: My will is that after my beloved wife Magdalene's decease, that all the negroes and all the plantation I now live on shall be sold by way of outcry and the money be equally divided among my beloved children who will be living at that time. Item: I do constitute and ordain my well beloved wife Magdalene Guerrant to be the whole and sole executrix of this my last will and testament, and I do hereby declare this and none other to be my last will and testament, revoking all other wills and testaments, which may have by me been formerly made.
