Jacob Perry's Will, 4 March 1775
-- died 1777 [recorded 24 Nov 1779]
In the name of God, amen, March 4, 1775,
I, Jacob Perry, of Perquimans County in the province of North
Carolina, being weak in body but of sound and perfect memory thanks be
given to God for the cause and calling to mind the mortality of my body
and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, do make
and ordain this to be my last will and testament. That is to say. . .
First and principally of all I give and recommend my soul into the hands
of God that gave it me and for my body I recommend to the earth to be
buried in a Christian-like and decent manner, according to the directions
of my executors hereafter named, nothing doubting but at the general
resurrection I shall receive the same by the almighty power of God and as
touching such worldly estate wherewith it hath pleased God to bless me
within this life, I give, devise and dispose of the same in manner and
from the following---that is to say in the first place...
-- I give and bequeath to my son Jacob
Perry the land and plantation whereon he now lives in Perquimans
County aforesaid to a line of marked trees mentioned in a deed of gift to
my son Israel Perry which is supposed to contain about 187 1/2 acres to
the same more or less to him, his heirs or assigns forever also such part
of my personal estate with which he is now possessed with to him and his
disposal.
-- Then I give to my son Israel Perry
all such part of my estate as he is now in actual possession of meaning
among other things, 50 acres of land for which some years past
acknowledged a deed of sale to him that through mistake happened to be
without date, to him and his disposal.
-- Then I give to my son Reuben Perry
all such part of my estate as he is now in actual possession of to him and
his disposal.
-- Then I give to my daughter, Priscilla
Welch, wife of Dempsey Welch, all such part of my estate as she is
now in actual possession of to her and her own disposal.
-- Then I give to my son Dempsey Perry
all such part of my estate as he is now in actual possession of to him and
his own disposal.
-- Then I give to my son John Perry, [a
negro or horse] named Dick and also such part of my estate as he is now in
actual possession of to him and his own disposal.
-- Then I give to my daughter Hephzibah
Stallings, wife of Hardy Stallings, all such part of my estate as
she is now in actual possession of to her and her own disposal.
-- Then I give to my daughter Ann Winslow,
wife of Caleb Winslow, land and plantation and improvements whereon
I now live, also one plantation and improvements which I bought of
Zachariah Lilley, also one plantation which I bought of my son Jacob, to
her and her heirs forever, only my will is that the true intent and
meaning of these presents also is that my well beloved Ann Perry shall
have the use of the said lands during the time of her natural life without
molestation.
-- Then I give to my grandson Isaac Wilson,
son of Isaac Wilson, a parcel of land lying on the northwest side
of a place called the Little Beaver Dam in Chowan County, containing by
estimation 100 acres to him and his heirs and assigns forever.
-- Then I give to my well-beloved wife Ann
Perry one horse call[ed] Spring, one woman's saddle and bridle, one
featherbed and furniture, also the use of the labor of my negro man named
Tom and negro woman named Pat during the time of her natural life or
widowhood, also the use of my copper still for the same time.
-- Then I give to my 8 children sig: Jacob,
Israel, Reuben, Priscilla, Dempsey, John, Hephzibah, and Ann my
copper still and negroes Tom & Pat to be equally divided among them
after the expiration of the time above limited to them and their disposal.
-- Then I give all the rest of my estate to be equally divided
between my wife Ann Perry, and my youngest daughter Ann Winslow, wife of
Caleb Winslow, to them and their disposal.
-- Then, lastly I do hereby nominate and appoint my
well-beloved wife executress and Jacob Perry and Israel Perry and Caleb
Winslow executors of this my last will and testament, hereby
disannullin and disallowing all and any other forms, wills and testaments,
legacies, bequeaths, or executors before this time by me named,
willed and bequeathed, ratifying and confirming this and no other to by my
last will and testament.
In witness thereof I have hereunto set my name, seal the day and year
first above written.
Recorded November 24, 1779."
According to the History of
Perquimans County by Winslow, Jacob is the brother of Israel Perry
[this
is an error, I think, as Israel states in his will that his father was
Jacob smk] and Phillip Perry and was the son of John and Mary
Perry. There are missing records in Perquimans County from 1712-1721.
There is a J. Perry using 200a of Timothy's land mentioned in the will of
Timothy Clare probated Nov. 10, 1724 , it is unclear whether this is Jacob
or his father, John or uncle James. Jacob is listed on the 1735 quits
rents list with 300acres. Also listed are Phillip Perry, Benjamin Perry,
and Samuel Perry. The Sr. Jacob Perry's land
is mentioned in the will of Daniel Rogerson, Sr. February 13, 1762.
A lawsuit over this land mentioned Jacob Perry, Jr., Benjamin Perry, Jr.,
Joseph Perry, and Phillip Perry among others swearing oath to have
examined the land in question of 65A siezed in fee tail for David Rogerson
valued at 35£. The land was auctioned off and sold to Israel Perry for
65£. David Rogerson left Perquimans county for Martin Co. following this
court action, he never signed the deed in question with his mark. He later
purchased land in the then Tyrel (now Martin Co.) Co. from Samuel Perry of
Chowan Co. - -note in - "The Roos Family Tree"
