	Copy of will
	As the most important record found in Surry County, I transcribe here a verbatim copy of the Will of Samuel Chappell¹. "Jn the name of 'God; Amen. In the year of our Lord 1748. A. D. I Samuel Chappell, Planter, in Surry county, being very six and week, but of perfect mind and memory, thanks be given unto God; And knowing that it is appointed unto all men once to die, do ordain this my last will and Testament. Principally and first of all recommending my soul into the hands of God and my body to be burried in a Christian manner at the discretion of my Executor and Executrix and as for my Worldly estate I give and bequeath in manner and form following. "Imprimis.. I give unto my son Samuel Chappell five shillings. "Item. I give unto my daughter Elizabeth five shillings. "Item. I give unto my daughter Sarah five shillings. "Item. I give unto my daughter Bethiah five shillings. "Item. I give unto my daughter Mary a feather bed. "Item. I give unto my daughter Ernelia five shillings. "Item. I give and bequeath unto my son Thomas one hundred and twenty-five acres of land, part of the tract of Land lying in the Ochineachy Neck, in North Carolina, to him and his heirs forever and my Gold Seal King. "Item. I give and bequeath unto my son James one hundred and twenty five acres, part of my laud lying in the Ochineachy Neck in North Carolina, to him and his heirs forever. "Item. I give unto my son John part of the tract of land I now live on beginning at my own outline South of the Meadow to the Deep Bottom and up the bottom to the head line and strike the dividing line between me and Robert Jones about Midway between the road and corner tree, by estimation one hundred and thirty acres, be it more or less, to him and his heirs forever. "Item. I give and bequeath unto my son Benjamin one hundred and fifty acres of land, binding upon the land I now live on, patented in my own name, to him and his heirs forever. "Item. I give ar.d bequeath unto my son Robert all the remaining part of my home plantation after rny wife Eliza-beths decease, to him and his heirs forever. "Item. I give unto my son Drury forty shillings. "Item. I give unto my wife Elizabeth my crop of tobacco to pay my lawful debts and cloath my children. "Item. I give my negroes and the remainder part of my estate, but what is before given, to be equally divided among my wife and children, Vizt.: Mary, Thomas, Nancy, John, James, Benjamin, Drury, and Robert and I do also appoint my beloved wife Elizabeth Executrix and my son Thomas Executor, of this my last Will and Testament and I do revoke and Disallow all other former Wills before made as witness my hand and seal. "Samuel Chappell. [L. S.] "Signed sealed and pronounced in the Presence of us. "Samuel Peete "Robert Jones "James Chappell. "At a court held for Surry county on the 21st. Day of November 1749, the above last Will and testament of Samuel Chappell Deceased was presented by Elizabeth Chappell, one of the Executors therein mentioned, who made oath thereto according to law and the same was proved by the Oaths of Samuel I'eete, Robert Jones and James Chappell, the witnesses thereto, and by the court ordered to be recorded. And on the motion of the said Executrix a certificate is granted her for obtaining probate thereof in due form. "Tester Aug. Claiborne, Clerk." It will be observed that James Chappell, the brother of the testator, was a witness to this will, and that Thomas Chappell - doubtless the eldest son - who had been appointed co-executor with his mother, was not present in court and did not qualify or join in the administration of the estate. It will also be observed, not only in this will, but in those of Jam s Jones, James Chappell and others, which will be copied, writ-ten during this early period, that great partiality is shown the sons over the daughters, especially the eldest son. The names of thirteen children are mentioned in the will of Samuel Chappell-six daughters and seven sons. Nothing is known of the daughters except their names, which were Mary, Nancy, Elizabeth, Sarah, Bethiah and Emelia. The names of the sons, who were doubtless mentioned in the order of birth, were Thomas, Samuel, James, John, Benjamin, Drury, and Eobert. The mother of these children - Elizabeth, who remained a widow - died and left a will, proved in Sussex County March 20, 1751, in which she devised her estate to sons Drury, Eobert, and John, and daughter Emelia, probably her youngest children.
