Asbury Sylvester's Will continued
on the plantation with my horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, tools, riding chair and household furniture, by my Executors and that crops should be made for the support of my wife and four youngest children above mentioned.
Item:	As	my four youngest children, Mansor, Demarcus, John and Mary
each comes of	age	or is married, it is	my desire that each of them should
have an	equal	part of all the property	on my plantation, except the four
above mentioned negroes, the houses and forty acres of land given to my wife till her death and which I wish to continue undivided till that time.
Item:	It	is my desire that my	fore mentioned youngest children,
Mansor,	Demarcus,	John and Mary should	have a good, useful education and that
my executors should act as Fathers to them and their Mother.
Item:	It is my desire that the Mother of my wife, Mrs. Watkins
should live with her daughter and be supported on my plantation as long as my wife lives.
Lastly:	I	appoint	my sons Joseph Sylvester and James Sylvester,
executors of this my last will and Testament, hoping and believing that they will act in everything agreeably to this dying request of their affectionate Father. Witness my hand and seal this twenty second day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seven.
