Lewis Dupree; the
land where I now live containing 200 a. and my Entire on the Great
Branch of Sions' (?)
Creek, with the rest of my Estate (other than that elsewhere
bequeathed) to be sold and
my debts paid, etc.
I will that tract of land at the Mouth of Great B____ Creek ... came
by Patent to me in my
own name and Lewis Dupree's ... that my Executors...etc. should make
them deeds to
Robert Wiles one for the upper Half and Joseph Dupree for the other.
To Thomas Wiles all my Right and Title of that Track of land my father
left me of the
south side of the Roanoke River opposite the Mouth of Bl___ton's
Creek.
I will that Thomas Wiles and Joseph Dupree should be my Executors.
Witnesses: Neavill Buchannan Robert Miles Stephen x Wiles (LS)
Luke Wiles, Aron x Pinson.
Comment: The thought occurs that Joseph might have married a
daughter of Stephen Wiles, else why did he bequeath this land to
Joseph Dupree, rather than his old friend, Joseph's brother Lewis?
