    3. [S40] Will, http://reynoldspatova.org/histories/SomeBeasleyFamilies-ColonialSouth_JohnBeatty_Final_Oct2015.pdf.
      Richard Ripley wrote his will on 3 June 1710.
      It described him as being 'very sick and weake of body' and included a number of bequests. To his son Richard he left 'all my land lyeing in the fork of Occupation being by estimation 100
      acres.' To his son Thomas Ripley he left a tract of 100 acres on the north side of Occupation Run adjoining Col. Richard Covington. To his son John Ripley he left ?'y now dwelling plantation being by estimation 150 acres.' To his daughters Elizabeth Smith, Dorothy, Sarah, Ann, and
      Mary Beasley he left each one cow.
      John and Thomas also received cows.
      Dorothy received a feather bed.
      Sarah and Ann were to share a mare called Nimble, while son John received a mare called Dobiny.
      Dorothy, Sarah, and Ann, all unmarried, were given free liberty to occupy the land given to Thomas and John.
      The will also mentioned cooper?s tools, given to Thomas, and carpenter?s tools and a hand mill, given to John.
      Richard left the remainder of the estate to his ?loving wife Elizabeth,? whom he made his executrix.
      The will was proved on 14 June 1711 with Edmond Connally and Thomas Ramsay as securities.
      An inventory was filed later that year by James Landrum and William Golding and included one hand mill, one cask, two hogs, a pair of wool cards, and a steer, totaling in value about £3.
      William was not specifically mentioned in association with the estate. Judging from the three unmarried daughters, Richard Ripley Sr. was
      probably near the age of William Beasley or only slightly older, leading to the conclusion that
      Mary (Ripley) Beasley was considerably younger
      than her husband.
      Daughter, Elizabeth is mentoned in the will of Richard Ripley; Samuel Beasley is married to Elizabeth Beasely; [they must be connected somehow-perhaps a brother of Richard?]
