    TIMOTHY STAMPS.
    The last Will & Testament of Timothy Stamps, written January 19, 1860 and proven October 21, 1867 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia

    In the name of God, Amen, I, Timothy Stamps, being of sound mind and memory, do make this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all previous wills..

    I give to the children of my deceased daughters Ann Conway and JaneWilcox the following property, to wit: slaves Lydda and Eliza, Bennister and Warner, James and Jenny, Ben and a child Liza, meaning to give both slaves by the name of Liza and Eliza in this bequest to the children of my two deceased daughters, and to take this property per stripes and not per capita, that, said property is to be divided into two equal parts and equal moiety and is to be again divided equally between the two sets of children..

    I will and direct that all the rest and residue of my property, of every description, real and personal and mixed, meaning all the rest and residue of my estate of every description, be divided into three equal parts, and I devise and bequeath one of such parts to my son John H. Stamps. I give and bequeath one other third of the same to my son Timothy H. Stamps, and the remaining third part to the children of my deceased son Benjamin H. Stamps, to wit:.

    William and Drucilla, equally to be divided between them, but if either of my said last mentioned grand children, to wit: William and Drucilla die without leaving children or descendants at their death, that part of the estate given them is to be equally divided between the survivor of each grand children who may have children or descendants, then the property given them is to be divided equally between my two sons Timothy H. and John H. but I further give the sum of five hundred dollars to my son Timothy H. Stamps in addition to what he takes as above, to be set apart to him before the residue as above stated is divided into three parts. This I give to him because of the trouble he has been heretofore put to and may hereafter be put to in managing my estate. I design he shall have in addition the usual compensation for attending to my estate as my executor..

    If any debts more than the amount of $150.00 shall ever come up against my estate, then each of such debts over and above $150.00 is to be charged equally on every bequest and devise specifick or otherwise in this will, but if my debts amount to only $150.00 or less, it is to be paid out of the sale of perishable property and money if any due my estate..

    For fear of misunderstanding, it is expressly my will that I do not mean to dispose of in this will any of the property or land heretofore given and deeded to my children, nor do I mean to dispose in this will for division the additional land I give to my son Timothy H. Stamps, a piece of land of about 120 acres that I have given him no deed to, this last parcel of land I give to my son Timothy Stamps before my estate is to be divided into three parcels as first aforesaid. It is not to be charged to him in said division, but will be laid off to him in a few days..

    I appoint my son Timothy H. Stamps my sole executor.
    Witness my hand and seal this 19th day of January 1860. Timothy Stamps {seal}

    Of the land that was no surveyed mentioned in the latter part of the third clause of my will given to T.H. Stamps, I have since had surveyed and made him a deed to it. As stated in my will he is not to account for this in taking what I have given him under my above will and it is not to be considered a part of my estate mentioned in the residuary clause of division.
