North Carolina, do make and ordain this instrument to be my last will and
testament in manner following him Primis --- I lend to my beloved wife Candis
Partin during her life the plantation whereon I now live including two hundred and

negroes namely Morning, David, Hanner, Aneky & Samuel to be disposed of at her
discretion equally between all my daughters namely Peninah Partin, Patsy Partin,
Candis Partin, Cynthia Partin and Maryann Partin - except my wife should be of
opinion that by the increase of said negroes or otherwise, they should be of more
real value that what my sons' has had heretofore and now given them from me,
then my wish is that my said wife may divide the surplus part of said negroes
equally between all my sons namely John, Pinckney, Eldridge, Alfred, William and
Aldridge Partin. Nevertheless she is to be at liberty finally to sell one or more of
said negroes as she may think proper. I also give to my said wife all my livestock
of every sort and all my household and kitchen furniture and all my crop of grain
and provision of every sort that may be on hand at my decease, and all the
plantation utensils of every sort to be disposed of at her discretion.

Item 2
I give to my son John Partin and to my son Eldridge Partin five hundred and
twenty five acres of land known by the name of the PooLand, to be equally divided
between them as they may agree and if they do not agree themselves, for each to
chose a respectable man to divide the said land, and if they cannot agree for them,
to chose a third and their decision to be final; to them their heirs and assigns
forever.

Item 3
I give to my son Pinckney Partin two hundred acres of land more or less bounded
as follows beginning at a White Oak in the fork of the Red Buck Branch, thence
North to a Post Oak, the land Jones's and my own corner, thence East for
compliment to him his heirs and assigns forever.

Item 4
I give all the remainder of my land that are not otherwise given or louned in this
will to be equally divided between my two sons Alfred Partin and William Partin at
the discretion of my wife to them, their heirs and assigns forever.

After my wife's decease, I give the plantation and all the land I louned to her to my
son Aldridge Partin to him, his heir and assigns forever.

Item 6
All the rest of my estate wherever or whenever found, I give to my said wife
Candis to be disposed of at her discretion----and lastly I nominate and appoint my
wife Candis Partin and my son John Partin executrix and executor of this my last
