• Will: father's will, 1813, Fauquier County, VA. WILL OF MINOR WINN III (1813)
In the name of God, Amen: I, Minor Winn, of the County of Fauquier and State of Virginia, being sick and weak in body but of sound and perfect memory, do make and ordain this my last will and testament in manner and form following, to wit:

In the first place I desire that all my just debts shall be paid.
I give and bequeath to my beloved wife, Eleanor Winn, the following slaves, Reuben, Syd, Daniel and Mary and Mary's increase, and my desire is that the said slaves shall never move out of the Counties of Fauquier, Prince William, or Loudoun, nor be hired out, but retained in my said wife's own possession during her natural life and after her death to be sold to the highest bidder on credit of twelve months, and the money arising from such sale be equally divided among my children, and in case of my wife's removed the aforesaid slaves out of the counties above mentioned or hiring them out, such removal or hiring out, I hereby declare to be a forfeiture of her claim to them (unless the same shall be done with the consent and approbation of my executors hereafter named) and order them to be sold on a credit of twelve months and the money arising there from be equally divided among my surviving children. I also give to my said wife, one bureau, one small dining table, on s!
mall poplar table, all my china, earthen, and glassware which is kept in the beaufet or dairy, also her choice of all my creatures of the horse kind and a saddle and bridle, two cows and calves, four ewes, and a sow and pigs, all my fowls of every description, twenty barrels of corn, twenty bushels of wheat, five hundred pounds of pork, or two hundred and fifty pounds of bacon in lieu of the pork if it be her choice, and five hundred pounds of hay for the immediate use of her stock and of the cattle of my wife, my will is that the horse saddle and bridle, the stock of cattle, sheep and hogs and the furniture which I have left to her shall be given to her daughter, Nancy Harrison, and to her heirs. I also give to my dear wife a Negro boy named Alfred (who came to me by her) to be hers and her heirs. And to provide a place for my wife's future residence, I leave it to her choice either to receive twenty pounds a year for the term of five years if she shall live so long, which!
my executors are hereby ordered to pay to her annually during the aforesaid term, or to hold during her life my lot of Graham's land whereon Thomas Garner lived, but not to receive the twenty pounds and the aforesaid lot of land also.

Item: I give and bequeath to my daughter, Nancy Singleton, a Negro Mary and her increase and an equal part of the money arising from the sale of personal property by this my last will ordered to be sold in trust in the hands of Isham O'Bannon and the profits of which I have bequeathed to her to be by him laid out at his discretion for my said daughter's support and if it shall hereafter appear necessary to him from the conduct of Mr. Joshua Singleton, the husband of my said daughter, Nancy Singleton, I hereby empower him, the said Isham O'Bannon, to take the before mentioned Negro Mary and her increase out of the said Singleton's hands and to lay out whatever profits may arise from them for the sole use of my foresaid daughter, and after her death my will is that the slaves aforesaid shall be sold on twelve months credit and the money accruing from such sale equally divided among her children as they shall marry or come of age.

Item: I give and bequeath to my daughter, Sally Gibson, the wife of William Gibson, two Negro women by name Esther and Ailey, with their present and future increase. I also desire that my said daughter may have my Negro boy David at the appraisement price, if she chooses to give it.

Item: I give and bequeath to my daughter Margaret, the wife of Thomas Neal, Negroes Jenny and Winny and their increase to her and her heirs.

Item: I give and bequeath to my daughter Betsy, the wife of Moses Gibson, a Negro woman named Lavinia and her increase, also the sum of one hundred pounds arising from that part of my estate which I direct by my will to be sold.

Item: I give and bequeath to my daughter Susanna, the wife of Edward Simpson, Negroes Nan and Jude and their increase.

Item: I give and bequeath to the daughters of my deceased daughter Mary, late wife of Captain Isham O'Bannon, and to her son Minor O'Bannon, Negroes Sarah and Esther and their increase to be given to them when they marry or come of age.

Item: I give and bequeath to my son John Winn Negroes George and Allegany new in his possession, also my wearing apparel and my best riding horse, saddle and bridle after my wife has had the first choice of my horses and mares.

Item: I give and bequeath to my daughter Hannah, the wife of Richard Neale, Negroes Liz and her children Armistead, Dell and Sarah and their future increase.

Item: I give to my son Minor Winn Negroes Sam and Bett and Bett's increase.

Item: I give to my son Thomas Winn Negroes Lue and Charlotte and Charlotte's future increase, one feather bed and furniture, two cows and calves, four ewes and a sow and pigs.

My will is that as soon after my death as public notice in the Gazettes can conveniently be given, my lands shall be sold to the highest bidder on a credit of three years, bonds with approved security to be taken bearing interest from the date and also deed of trust on the land for more effectually securing the payment of the purchase money; the interest to be paid annually and in case of failure the term of credit to be forfeited.

Item: My will is that the whole of my personal property not herein bequeathed shall be sold by my executors hereafter named on a credit of twelve months, the purchasers giving bond with good security to bear interest from the date if not punctually paid when due and the proceeds of the said sale together with the money arising from the sale of land (after paying to my daughter Betsy Gibson the hundred pounds herein before given to her) to be equally divided among all my children then living and the daughters of my late daughter Mary O'Bannon and her son Minor O'Bannon (the aforesaid children of my said daughter to have divided equally among them the part which would have fallen to their mother if she had been living) excepting my daughter Nancy Singleton whose proportion thereof I leave in trust to Captain Isham O'Bannon for her use to be advanced to her by him as her necessities shall in his opinion call for the same, and after her death the remainder (if any) to be e!
qually divided among her children then living.

And lastly I do hereby constitute and appoint Captain Isham O'Bannon, Mr. William Gibson and my son, John W. Winn, executors of this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all others by me heretofore made.

In witness I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 22nd day of August, 1813.
