John Keathley Sr., wrote his will on the 20th of Mar 1793 and it was recorded January 1794 in Wayne County, North Carolina. He gave most of his estate to his wife, Elizabeth. His wife was bequeathed the choice of the feather beds and family belongings. She was to receive half of the kitchen furniture during her remaining life. He gave one feather bed and furniture to his son, Jonathon Sr. , after his wife , ELIZABETH, passed away. He gave the same to his son, John Jr.
Richard, the first born, was given all the land and property after Elizabeth passed away. All of the livestock also went to Richard. All the tools and kitchen furniture went to Richard. Richard was also the executor of his fathers will.

John signed his will by spelling his name JOHN KETHLEY SR. at the end of the will. Someone else must have signed for him. Benjamin, Simon and Jacob Herring were witnesses. Nancy Herring was Jonathon's wife.

Jonathon was born, perhaps not far from the town of Albertson near the Northeast Cap Fear River. His father, John Sr., was a farmer and probably raised several crops including the highly profitable tobacco crop. A large market for tobacco had developed in England and western Europe. The climate of North Carolina was ideal for the production of this crop.

Jonathon grew up on his parents farm and himself would become a very successful farmer eventually owning 2,300 acres under cultivation. As a young man, Jonathon put his energies into farming, land aquisition, and other aspects of getting ahead in the late 1700s.
