From a typed copy by E. B. Vaughters of WA.
Will of William Vawter, Monroe Co., VA (no book or page #).
In the name of God, Amen. I William Vawter of the County of Monroe and State of Virginia being in perfect health and sound mind, calling to mine the uncertainty of Human Life and being disposed to leave my will behind me should it please God to call me away. It is my desire that my loving wife shall have all my estate (after my just debts are paid) to do with as she thinks best for the support of herself and children during her widdowhood, if she never marries 'tis my desire that she should have the sole disposal of all that it pleases God to give us, giving it to our children at her decease.
Except three black People, Nelly, Jerry and Willis. 'Tis my desire that Jerry should have his freedom at any time when he will take it or desire it. Also Nelly if she wishes her freedom and will go to where she will have it. And Willis is to be free if he chooses to have it by complying with the laws of the State, at the age of twenty-five years old but if any or all chooses to stay with any of my family my wish is that they are welcomed. And if they stay longer with this family then myself or wife lives they may choose which branch of the family to live with they please. If they choose to go to where they can be free my Executor is requested to Emancipate them. If any part of my property should have to be sold to answer any just demands against me, I wish such property as can be best spared sold any of the pieces of Land sooner than anything else if thought best- at private sails by any of my executors. I appoint my loving wife Peggy Vawter, William Shanklin and my son John Henderson Vawter Executor and Executors of this my last will and testament. Signed and sealed in presents of Test: Peter Larew, Jacob Larew, John R. Vawter. This 26 day of November 1818. William Vawter.

At a court held for the County of Monroe at the Court House 17 Dec 1822. This last will and testament of William Vawter deceased was presented in Court and proven to the oaths of Peter Larew and Jacob Larew and the name is ordered to be recorded.
(GJNote: The John R. is likely John H., the son of William)
