Knowing the uncertainty of life to live, and the certainty of death to die, and having arrived at a very old age, and being desirous of disposing of a tract of land which I own by a deed from my departed husband J.M.B. Stevens, which is recorded at Campbell Court-house, I do make and declare this my last will and testament, revoking all wills and codicils heretofore made by me, if any should be found.

First. That this plantation being the homestead of my husband and myself for about fifty years, and lying on the West side of the Lynchburg and Campbell Court-house turnpike, the L and D railroad running through said plantation:

Second. I give this tract of land to my son Claudius M. Stevens and Nicholas J. Hunter, my grand son, whole mother was my daughter that died and left him a baby.

Third. I direct that this tract of land, after my death be equally divided between C.M. Stevens and N.J. Hunter by the acres, C.M. Stevens to have the homestead and all buildings upon said land, I give to him because he has been with me and taken care of me since his father's death. This land is to be equally divided without taking into consideration the value of the buildings.

Fourth. I further direct that this land given to my son, that he is to have the benefit of it during his life.

Fifth. I further direct that he may sell said land and lay out the proceeds in other real estate, provided that it will be beneficial to him and his children.

Sixth. I direct that nothing I give to my son C.M. Stevens shall be bound for any of his debts to any person.

Seventh. That I may be fully understood as to the division of this land, I direct that the lands lying next to the Lynchburg and Campbell Court-house Turnpike shall be given to my son C.M. Stevens, with buildings, without any consideration of value.

Eight. I direct that my grand son, N.J. Hunter's land shall be the west side, adjoining the lands of Mrs. Alice Merry and the estate of the late J.E. Glass, and along the L. and D. RR on both sides, provided that it should be necessary to five him his number of acres. I appoint as my executor to carry out the provisions of this my last will, C.M. Stevens and request of the Court probating this will to require them not to give any security.

Ninth. I direct that I be buried decently by my husband on this farm, and that unless all of my children bear an equal part of my burial expenses, I direct that Claude, my son and N.J. Hunter shall pay said expenses.
