Joseph Renn Will of 1833 |
||||||||
|
Warren County, NC - Will: Joseph Renn (sometimes spelled Wren), 1833 In this will, Joseph Renn mentions the date as being 1733, but it is signed and dated as 1833 so I'm not sure if this was simply a spelling error on his part or if he was unsure of the date when he was writing. I'm not sure why he lists the date as 1733 when it was, in fact, 1833. The Will of Joseph Renn March, th 31st in the year of Our Lord one thousand seven hundred and thirty three being in a very low state of health but perfectly in my right mind and not knowing how soon I must depart from this life, I have here got sot down how I want my affairs managed after I depart, that is to say, I gave unto my son - Green Ren my tract of land where on I now live, say one hundred acors and further I gave unto my two daughters Maray & Susanner twenty seven acors of land to be taken of the former tract to have as long as they keep single, and if they or either should marray, their part to go back to Green Ren.
