Will of Alexander Steele jr.
I, Alexander Steele of Campbell county and state of Virginia, do make this to be my last will and testament in manner and form following: first I desire that all my just debts be paid out of my estate, in the next place I give to my wife Sarah Steele during her life all my land where I now live, with all my negroes, horses, cattle, sheep and hogs and housegold and kitchen furniture and plantation utensils. Then my son-in-law’s Jno. Irvine and Matthew Irvine to have all my land above name at ten dollars per acre. If they wish to do so and if they are not willing to give the above named price I want it sold to the highest bidder on whatever terms the legatees may think proper. I then give Mary Irvin, Catharine Irvin all my beds and bed clothing. Then I give my daughter Mary Irvin one hundred and fifty dollars more than either of the legatees for services rendered to her mother, then I give to my son Moses Steele $300.00 out of my estate, then I give to my grandson William A. Steele son of William Steele, decd. $600.00 out of my estate when he arrives at age 21 and it is to be kept in the hands of my son-in-laws John Irvin and Matthew Irvin until he arrives at the aforesaid. In the next place I want my land, money and all my property not already bequeathed to be divided among my four daughters so as to make Mary Irvin, Sarah Petticrew and Catherine Irvin paid equal to their sister Elizabeth Chapman’s part that she has already received and then I want balance of my estate to be equally divided among my four daughters Elizabeth Chapman, Mary Irvin, Sarah Petticrew and Catharine Irvin. I hereby appoint John Irvin and Matthew Irvin executors of this my last will and testament in witness whereof I set my hand and seal this 21 day of August 1840.
