*** Nuncupative ***<\/p>\n
That my negro boy name Sam<\/b> be free and all my other property be sold at public sale and be applied to public school, and I want to be buried on my own land near the poplar on the hill that I had cut down (near the Meeting House), as I do not want to be buried as a beggar.<\/p>\n
Mrs. David Laughmiller<\/b> adds after his debts were paid the balance to be give to the public school (or this district).<\/p>\n
Given under our hands this 13th day of April A.D. 1833<\/p>\n
