The State of South Carolina
Darlington District
			In the name of God Amen!
I David Williams of the district of Darlington and State of South Carolina 
being of sound and disposing mind and memory do make and ordain the following
 for my last will and Testament.

	In the first place should I have any debts unpaid at the time of my death it 
is my will and I hereby direct that the same be speedily paid.

	Secondly: It is my wish suitably to provide for my wife Janet Williams
 and Thereby prevent any difficulty between her and those who may have the
 management of my estate: for this purpose, I will devise and bequeath to the
 said Janet Williams as follows: 
To wit
	I will and bequeath to her the said Janet Williams her heirs and assign
 for her the Negroes Isp, Sucky, Mary and Hipsy which I acquired by marriage
 with my said wife: also five thousand dollars to be paid to her out of my
 estate: Thus beds and furniture thus cows and calves and a years provisions
 -that is corn, pork, fodder and the like in the quantity subject to the number
 of her family as contemplated in this my will,. 
 In addition to the above which I have thus given forever I loan to my said wife
 during the term of her natural life, and no longer, the following named
 property-A Negroes boy which I bought of Wilson Witherspoon named Sam, All the
 children of Sucky and Mary above given to her which are now born or may be
 born before my death except Hipsy which I have above given absolutely-the gig
 and Havnip, two horses one of them to be a choose gig horse and the other a
 good work horse.  I also will and direct that my said wife during her
 lifetime, if she so long continue my widow, live upon this place where I now
 live occupying the mansion house and having the use of enough corn and cotton
 land to work her hands upon, this is, the hands which I have given and loaned
 to her, but she is not to take any other person to live on the place unless it
 be her single daughter Martha.  There is a part of my land used for the
 cultivation of cotton and apart for the cultivation of cotton and a part for
 the cultivation of corn it is not my wish or will that said lands be used
 differently by my wife than I now use them-so much of the cotton land as maybe
 assigned to her for use I direct to be used for no other cultivation of cotton
 and a part for the cultivation of corn it is not my wish or will that said
 lands be used differently by my wife than I now use than that of cotton. 
 The corn land assigned to her use, she can plant either in corn or cotton as
 she pleases.  Of course, she is to have permission of use the necessary timber
 and live wood for the use of her plantation and domestic purposes from off my
 wood lands.
	Should my wife marry then of course she will no longer continue on the
 plantation: and if from any cause she remove from the plantation, then she is
 to give up the Negroes which I have above loaned to her for life: she is to 
 have them only so long as she lives on the plantation.
	The provision which I have above made for my wife is in Bar and Lieu of
 power of common law and in bar of all claim of thirds under the statute.
 Thirdly: I will devise and bequeath the entire residue of my estate of all 
 kinds and descriptions, both real and personal to my children and grand-
 children living at my death, to them and their heirs and assign forever, in
 such portions and proportions among them respectively as the stature
 distributions in this state points out and determines, my children taking in
 equal portions, and my grand children taking up representation where the
 parent if living at my death would have taken.  If I make no further will, 
 advancements made by me in my lifetime to my children respectively are to be
 accounted for in the division among them under this will, the same if I had
 died interstate.  In testimony whereof I have here to set my hand and seal
 this tenth day of June in the year of our lord One Thousand Eight hundred 
 forty three.
