To my niece Susanna Bruce Suit I give and bequeath all that parcel of land whereon she is now living called Hepworth and also a small piece of land adjoining thereto called Plains of Jericho, containing in the whole 112 acres, which two parcels of land after my niece's decease shall go to whichever of her two sons she may direct as the most deserving and to his lawful heirs.

To my niece Sarah Bruce Locks, wife of Jesse Locke, I give half a dozen silver dessert spoons cy0phered thereon TAR ($10). Having heretofore given to my daughter Milly and her husband Bennet Walker all her portion of my estate which I ever intended, I have now only to add my affectionate good wishes to each of them for their happiness through life and perfect blessing after death, and only request that my daughter will accept of a silver coffee pot, ciphered thereon TAR ($46) and my Windsor carriage and harness in remembrance of me ($20).

My will and desire is that the two old Negro women Sue and Beck shall be at liberty to choose to whom they will belong among any of my relations and it is my request that the master or mistress they shall so choose will take and humanely treat them the remainder of their days and not let them become a burden to others when too old to support themselves.

My will and desire is that the income arising from all the lands whereof I am possessed at the time of my decease, and the rent of my mill on the Run of St. Clement's Bay, except that part aforesaid given to Thomas and William Reeder, and the half year's rent aforesaid given to the several persons, to whom I have bequeathed the residue of my lands towards defraying the expenses that may arise on a division thereof, shall belong to and make a part of my personal estate and therein be accounted for by my executors to the end of the year in which it shall please God to take me. And my will and desire is that after all my debts are paid and satisfied, and all the foregoing legacies are paid off and satisfied, all the expenses attending to execution of this my last will (except what has been before excepted, relative to the bequest respect - the residue of my lands) be deducted, that the residue of my personal estate of whatever nature or kind and wherever it shall be found shall be equally divided between my two sons Thomas and William Reeder.

I must now beg and request that all those in any interested in the settlement of my estate as aforesaid will conduct themselves to each other with brotherly love and good will.

And lastly I do hereby constitute, appoint and ordain my son George Reeder, Bennet Walker, Jesse Lock and James Cooke to be my whole and sole executors of this my last will and testament, revoking and annulling all other will or wills by me heretofore made, ratifying and confirming this and none other to be my last will and testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this twenty-seventh day of February anno domine One Thousand Eight Hundred and Six.

Thomas Attaway Reeder
