Will:
Below is a transcript of the Last Will and Testament of William Terrill as found on the Internet and also a digital copy of the Will which I retrieved from Microfilm to share with everyone (DJS - 29 Mar 2013).


The Will of William Terrill: Orange County, Virginia: Will Book 7, p. 242 - 244. It appears that after settlement of all the debts of the instant William Terrill, each legatee's portion of the estate amounted to $14.94 having been equally divided into five parts. The inventory of the estate may be located in the Orange County Will Book 7, at page 269; dated 6 August 1830. It was additionally referenced in Will Book 7, at page 317, dated 19 November 1830.


"In the name of God Amen. I William Terrll (sp) of the county of Orange, being weak in body, but of perfect sound mind and memory and calling to mind the mortality of my body, do make and ordain this my last will and testament in the following manner.

It is my will and desire that all my just debts be paid by my executor herein after named.

2nd, I give to Robert, George and Bookey (three boys of color) the tract of land which I hold adjoing the tract of land that I gave to my son Edmond Terrell (by) deed and the lands of Alexander Wright and others which tract of land I formerly gave to my son John Terrell deed which said tract of land is by this my will, to be to them, the said Robert Geroge and Bookey and their heirs of assigns forever, and is to be equally divided between them and they the said Robert, George and Bookey is by this my will to be free immediately after my decease and is to take the said land into their immediate possession.

4th, after the death of my wife, I give to my son James Terrill, one Hundred and fifty acres of land to be laid off from the tract on which I now reside to begin at the corner between Tartan (?) Smith and myself on the east side of Demanguess (?) road, and running with said Smiths line to the north fork of the north Anna river, and then down the said river with the water to my corner with the land belonging to the estate of George Morton deed and thence along the said Mortons line a northerly course far enough to include the said quantity of one hundred and fifty acres which said land is to be to him the said James Terrill and to his heirs forever.

5th, I lend to my daughter Nancy Burris all the balance of the tract of land on which I now reside for and during her natural life, which is by this my will to be rented out by my executor either annually or for any term of year that my executor may think proper and the rents or profits thereof, to go to my daughter Nancy Burris for her support and at her death or the death of her husband Joseph Burris. I give the same to the heirs of her body forever.

6th, Out of the balance of my estate not disposed of above, my executor is to pay to my son Reuben Terrill one hundred pounds current money of Virginia after the death of my wife and then the balance after paying the said legacy to my son Reuben is to be divided into four equal parts and one equal part of said division I give to my son James Terrill and to his heirs forever and one equal part of said division I give to be equally divided among the children of my son Edmond Terrill deed which is to them and their heirs forever and one equal part of saiddivision I leave by this will in the hands of my executor as (?) for my said daughter Nancy Burris which he is to have the whole management of and for him to him out such slaves as may fall to her lot in said division and to pay to her the amount of such heirs or other incomes of said portion annually for and during the natural life of her the said Nancy Burris or the life of the said Joseph Burris reserving to himself or reasonable compensation for his trouble in managing her said portion of my estate both real and personal never (?) should the said Nancy Burris survive her said husband, then in that case it is my will that she take the said portion of my estate both real and personal as above mentioned into her immediate possession and at her death I give the said portion to the heirs of her body forever.

7th, The remaining fourth part of the said division of my estate I lend to my daughter Frances Fackler for and during her natural life and at her death, I give the same to be equally divided among the heirs of her body.

8th, All of my other children not mentioned above (?), George Terrill, William Terrill and Elizabeth Chandler which said three are not dead, and Polly Robinson of Kentucky who is now living, they all having received their full portion of my estate, the said George, William and Elizabeth having in their life time received their portion which I intended for them. I leave their children nothing more of my estate and the said Polly Robinson having also received her full portion of my estate which I intended for her, I now leave neither her nor her chldren any more.

9th, Should any of my children to whom I have given my estate in this my will or their representatives being any suit, or put in any claim against my estate, for any thing done by me, by way of advancement to either of them before my death, then in such case, the portion which I chave herein given to such as may make such claim is to be equally divided among the rest of my chldre, to whom I have given my estate in this my will or to whom I have loaned a portion of it as above.

10th, I do herby constitute and appoint my son James Terrill executor to this my last will and testament , without being compiled by the court, by the court, to give security for the dischage of those duties with which I hereby enlist him. I do hereby revoke all other will or wills heretofore made by me. In testimony whereof I have herunto set my hand and seal this fifth day of September 1829. - William Terrill (Seal) Witnesses: John W. Sale, Elijah Morton, John Morton, Reuben Lindsay.

Notice William Terrill's reference to his daughter, "Polly Robinson of Kentucky," which is a wonderful example of how in 1830, despite being 500 miles away on opposite sides of the Appalachian Mountain Range, the family was still in touch.
