Notice: FUTURE APPLICANTS MUST PROVE CORRECT SERVICE (WHY?)
The proof of service used to establish this person as a patriot is no longer valid. Subsequent evaluation of the proof of service may have determined that the proof is not acceptable under today’s standards (examples: tombstone, obituary, undocumented genealogy or county history, family tradition); the service belongs to another person of the same name; the residence of this person during the Revolution is inconsistent with the service, or multiple people have claimed the same service. Future applicants must provide proof of service (and possibly residence) that meets current standards.

My land I will to be equally divided between my three eldest sons - William Robert and Tristram.
My three daughters Sarah, Mary and Nancy, I will to have my household furniture equally divided between them and also for them to have each one cow and calf.
And the residue of my property I will to be sold at private or public Sale . . . and after my debts are paid out of the proceeds thereof that the balance thereof be equally divided between my son Thomas and the child that my wife now goes with, but if my Wife does not bring forth a live born child then in that case my Will is that my Wife do have what is before mentioned to be given to the child that she is now supposed to go with.
And I do Will and ordain my friends Robert Thomas and Nathan Thomas to act as Executors to this my last will and Testament.

- ↑ Place of birth needs verification from original sources, since it is likely his parents did not move to North Carolina until later in the 1760s.
