In the name of God, Amen, I, Elisha Sellers, of Brunswick County in the
State of North Carolina, being weak of body but perfect mind and sound
memory, calling to mind the mortality of my flesh, and that it is
appointed unto all men once to die, do make and ordain this my last Will
and Testament in the form and manner following. First and principally, I
recommend my soul to God who gave it, trusting in the merits of Christ
for a Glorious Resurrection, and my body to be buried after a Christian
manner at the discretion of my executors hereinafter named, nothing
doubting but I shall receive the same again through the mighty power of
God, and touching such worldly goods wherewith it hath pleased God to
bless me with, I give, devise, and bequeath in manner & form following:
First, I give unto  my beloved wife, Mary Sellers, the use of the plantation
whereon I now  live, during her life or widowhood and after her death or
marriage to revolve to my son John Bryant Sellers. Secondly, I give unto
my daughters Sarah McClelland and Mary Singletary and my sons William
Sellers, Thomas Sellers, Matthew Sellers, and Willets Sellers, and also
to my daughter Ann Peoples Mints one shilling to each of them. Thirdly, I
give unto my wife Mary Sellers her equal part of the remaining part of my
property not hereinbefore given. I mean one child's part. Fourthly, it is my will and
desire that the remaining part of my property may be equally divided
between all the children which I have had or may hereafter have by said
wife Mary, share and share alike. Fifthly, I give to my grandsons Elisha
and William Sellers one heifer calf to each of them. Lastly, I nominate,
constitute, and appoint my beloved wife Mary Sellers Executrix, my
dutiful son Thomas Sellers and my friend John Conyers as executors to
this my last Will and Testament hereby revoking all former wills by me
heretofore made and ratifying and confirming this to be my last Will and
Testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my
seal this sixteenth day of November one thousand eight hundred and one.

     Elisha [X is mark] Sellers

Tom's note:
The will was proven in the April 1813 session of the Brunswick Co.
Court, and in that record, Mary [Elisha's widow], Thomas, Matthew,
Willets, and Samuel Sellers, Henry Mintz, and Martha Perkins were listed
as legatees. On April 10, 1813, the above legatees sold their rights to
the land on Starboard Swamp to a Benjamin Sellers [probably their uncle
or brother]. The deed of sale (in Deed Book H, pp. 459-460) refers to
Elisha's will, in which the land was devised to John B. Sellers, Elisha's
youngest son, and to the fact that John B. Sellers had died a minor.

I noticed in a hurry that my name has come up, but I've missed the flow of the exchanges. So, how can I help?

ELISHA SELLERS 1801 will, BRUNSWICK CO, NC

(Ray sent us copy of original will/(posted on Elisha SELLERS page =

 WE ONLY had extractions before)

THIS ELISHA SELLERS 1801 WILL had some papers
 (were they Probate papers? or ? )
in April 1813 that listed other heirs and deaths of some kids, etc.
and the kids selling this/some land.

DO you have COPY of this DOCUMENT?
WE only have extractions/sayings others have sent. and may NOT contain EVERY word, name, etc.
WOULD like copy of original document.

THANK YOU for sharing so much with us.
Best Wishes.

OK, y'all, I'm still not sure what the question was, but there are three basic documents bearing on the estate of Elisha Sellers:

(1) His will in Brunswick Co. NC Will Book B, p.69, dated 16 Nov 1801. See the transcript below.
(2) The Minutes of the County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, dated April 1813, in which some children NOT named in Elisha's will get named as legatees of the estate, selling their rights to a tract of land (and referencing the deed in
#3 below) that would have gone by the will to John Bryant Sellers if he had lived long enough. See the abstract below the will.
(3) The deed record, referred to in the court minutes and found in Brunswick Co. NC Deed Book H, pp.459-460, that says that these "extra" heirs sold their land that would have eventually gone to John Bryant Sellers, but that he had died as a minor since the making of Elisha's original will.

I do not have copies or verbatim transcripts of these latter two records, but I have abstracted them myself, having seen the microfilmed originals with my own eyes in the NC Archives in Raleigh.

WHAT I would like to have is what you SAW and WE have extractions of,
But,WE don't have copies of Original copies =
WE NEED.
