NOTE 1./ Will of Thomas Singletary of Bladen County, N. C. to his son Ephraim:
Filed in Will Book Number 2, page 366, Bladen County North Carolina

IN THE NAME OF GOD "AMEN"

Knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, being weak in body but in perfect mind and memory, thank God for the same. As for what worldly goods it hath pleased God to bless me with, it is my wish to dispose of as follows, Viz:

First it is my wish that my funeral expenses and just debts be paid.

Item. I give and bequeath to my Son, Ephriam Singletary, two hundred acres of land on the Rayford Swamp, and cattle given to him by his Uncle Ephriam Hester.

Ephraim married Amy NANCE about 1809. Amy (daughter of Joseph NANCE and Mary SINGLETARY) was born before 1796 in Bladen County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
