I among others was sued as executrix of my husband Thomas Johnson (shff) in sundry suits by British creditors and have expended a considerable sum of money in my defense which I think I ought to recover and feeling myself under great obligations to the Reverend John Poindexter for his assistance in shaking off said suits I give him all that he may be able to recover back of said money expended.

Poindexter 1/6 part of my estate that my remain after the aforesaid specified legacies being the part my deceased daughter their mother would have received.

Barret to be equally divided except Sarah Overton who is to have $300 less than the others on account of a Negro woman loaned her and now in her possession named Alice. I understand that no part of the estate of my late husband can be sold for the payment of my debts and to raise the fund before mentioned for the support of John Kinney and being doubtful a sufficiency I cannot believe that any of my five daughters would object to a sale of so much of the estate I received from my husband to make up the deficiency should that be the case or any of my three grandchildren children to my daughter Elizabeth should object, if so those objecting shall be excluded from all share of my estate of which I have the right to dispose.

Will Charles Yancey to wife Mary all household goods. Already given by deed to daughter Rhoda and son in law William Crawford the tract I now live on including Jones tract containing 1180 acres to be accounted for at $5/acre. My intention is for my said daughter to have 1/2 of my total estate. To children of deceased daughter Elizabeth Kimbrough except as to my granddaughter Elizabeth Barrett I give nothing as her father Peter S. Barret had a good estate by her mother my granddaughter Sarah Kimbrough and is now contending for more in right of said Sarah contrary to the provisions of Robert Yancey's will and except also my granddaughter Unity Pendleton part shall not belong to her in fee simple but in trust of my exors and turned over to her children as they come of age or marry. If said granddaughter should become widow she is to share equally with her children. Edmund Pendleton husband of said granddaughter Unity, shall have no interest or concern whatsoever with my estate. A debt is due me from the estate of Robert Yancey dec'd., if residue of Roberts estate is not enough to cover this debt then the specific legacies not to be given. I have sold to Doctor Andrew Kean the interest which Louisa C. Winston formerly Kimbrough and Maria D. Winston formerly Kimbrough and Charles Y. Kimbrough and Elizabeth C. Kimbrough and Mary S. Kimbrough have in tract formerly the property of their father Joseph Kimbrough they being under aged the time of the sale. If any of them refuse to make said Doctor a good title, I revoke and annul every gift to them and my exors will sell so much of my estate as to indemnify the good doctor. The parts of my estate herein given to those refusing shall be divided among children of my daughter Elizabeth Kimbrough who agree. Whereas my son Robert Yancey in his will bequeathed to children of said daughter Kimbrough the Yanceyville tract and mill in lieu of certain land in the said Roberts will and it being my opinion that the children abide by the provisions of Robert's will to prevent vexation. If any do refuse then they are to take no part of my will. Son in law William Crawford and grandson Charles Y. Kimbrough to be exor when he arrives at 21 years. 10 Mar 1813. Wit. David Watson, Nancy Goodrich (X), H.Lawrence, Elizabeth Smith, Nath. Thomason, David Johnson. Rec. 14 Feb 1814.
