      Second. I give my daughter ANN HOLT, wife of ROBERTSON HOLT five dollars and no more of my estate, to her and her heirs forever.

      Third. I give to my son THOMAS C. POND five dollars to him and his heirs forever.

      Fourth. I loan to my son JAMES POND for and during his life my slaves Henry (Carr), Merit, Randell, little Lewis, and John. And at his death, I give said slaves to any child or children he may have, at his death. But should he have no children, then I give the said negro slaves above named to the children of my son JOHN H. POND, and my daughter MARY GOODRICH in equal proportions to wit: one half to JOHN H. POND'S children and the other half to MARY GOODRICH'S children.

      Fifth. I loan to my son JOHN H. POND for and during his life my slaves Siman, Jack, Norflet, Ben, Jim, Eliza and her children (Junius & Imogan) and her future increase and their increase in this fifth clause named to the children of my said son JOHN H. POND should he leave any. And in case he leave none, I give the same to the children of my son JAMES POND and of my daughter MARY GOODRICH, to them and their heirs forever. And I also loan to my said son JOHN H. POND, what I consider to be about twelve hundred acres of land commencing at SPRATLEY'S line, going up the mill race, taking the east stream to JOHN HARRIS'S line and all the land known as Birch Island on the North side of Black Water being all the land I own on that side of Birch Island, and also my mill seal with all things appurtenant and belonging to it as it now stands, to him and his heirs forever. And at his death, I give said land to such one of his children as he may name after me or with my name, and should he have none to bear my name, then I give all said land, mill seal , to such other child or children as he may leave at his death. But should leave no child surviving him, then said land is to go to the children of my son JAMES POND and my daughter MARY GOODRICH, to them and their heirs forever.

      Sixth. I loan to my daughter MARY GOODRICH wife of ALBERT D. GOODRICH my slaves Willis (Pond), Henry (Pretlow), Sam Henry (Holliman), Willis (Cokes), Margaret and her increase Wesly and Big Lewis, and at her death I give the said slaves in this sixth clause named to the children of my said daughter MARY GOODRICH or should she die leaving no child surviving her, I give said slaves and the increase of the female thereof to the children of my sons JAMES POND and JOHN H.

And in that event, the slaves hereby loaned him, or her, is to go and pass as if he or she were dead.

      Eighth.

And after paying my just debts out of the sales of my property, not herein before given away or loaned or otherwise disposed of (which my executors are hereby directed to sell) and from the sales of said Britton and Daniel, I direct my executors to deposit in a savings bank as aforesaid the whole net proceeds of sales of said Britten and Daniel and of my estate not previously by this Will disposed of, from which amount so reported in bank I appropriate one thousand dollars to be used in carrying Iris and her children Vizt: Milta, Fanny, Claiborne and Antinette and such further or other increase of said Iris as may be borne of her to some free state, and the balance of the money, upon a fair settlement of my estate remaining, I wish and direct to be kept as a fund to be used in the education of my grand children (the children of my sons JAMES and JOHN H.

And should there remain more than enough to educate my said grand children, then the remainder is to be divided into three equal shares, one of which shares is to go to JAMES POND'S children, one share to go to JOHN H. POND'S children and the other share to go to MARY GOODRICH'S children. And in any and all events, my negroes Iris and her children aforesaid are to be comfortably supported and should their hires be unsufficient for that purpose, then my estate is to furnish the means for the purpose. And I direct that said last aforesaid negroes be taken from my present residence immediately after my death and provided with good comfortable houses by my executors.
