In The Name of God Amen, I Isaac Hall make and ordain this my last Will and Testament written and subscribed by my own hand. Whereas I have already given to my son Everard Hall five negroes, Jack Sylvia, two women named Nancy & Billy, and as I wish to be altogether fair & equal in the distribution of my small fortune between my two children, I do hereby give or bequeath to my daughter Dian Robinson Hall the following slaves Suky, Patty, Venus, Armistead, and either Molly or Betty as she may chuse.
All the rest and residue of my estate, real & personal of whatever nature or kind I give to my beloved wife Martha Hall, to her and her heirs forever I feel the most perfect confidence that she will by gift or Will dispose of it equally and impartially between our children or their issue.
I do hereby appoint my two highly respected worthy friends George Keith
Taylor & John Allison executors of this my last Will & Testament, and I do particularly request that they shall not be required to give any security when they qualify as my Executors. In witness of the above I hereunto set my hand and seal this 24th of November A.D.1805.
