Transcriber Notes

These two sections were copied from the original will in order to settle a dispute between William and Calvin over who should take possession of slaves held by Randolph's widow, Mary.

This is Calvin Rutherford's handwriting. This is also interesting since Calvin says in other letters that he has not seen a copy of the Will.
