Natchez District. August 12th, 1789.
Will of Samuel Marshall, of Pennsylvania, in North America, son of James Marshall
and Jane Marshall, deceased, (Catholic); appoints Don Francisco Pavana exor;
owns 70 acres not in cultivation in Pa. and one mare; a house and household
furniture in Pa. I have in the house a mulatto woman, dec'd.[free?], named "Nelly",
a forge and all tools necessary for the trade of a blacksmith; four shirts in use,
one jacket, vest and breaches of cloth, one new hat. David Temple is indebted to
me in sum of $30 specie, being the price of a saddle he bought from me; a bond
drawn up by Mr. Duett in favor of Alex. Wells for 52 pounds which does not belong
to me but was entrusted to me to recover from Dewitt. I owe nothing
but the expenses incurred in the house in which I have dwelt during my sickness
and that I do not know the amount. I also owe the attendance and medicine furnished
by Doctor Flower. After the above mentioned has been satisfied, it is my will
that the remainder be divided between my brother, Thomas Marshall and my sister,
Margaret Marshall, residing in Pa.
