In the name of God. Amen. I William Lesly of the district of Abbeville and State of South Carolina being in good health and of perfect mind and memory do make and ordain this my last will and testament in manner and form following. In the first place it is my will that all my just debts be paid. I bequeath to my grand daughter Francis Caroline Lesly (When of age) five dollars to purchase a book and remember her grandfather. I bequeath to my son John H. Lesly a Shorter Catechism to be bought by my Executors and should he study it well particularly the 80 and 85 questions it may do him more good at the day of Judgement than all my estate. It is also my Will and desire that my Executors pay the Reverend Robert Wilson one hundred dollars for my son John aforesaid: also that they purchase Scotts Family Bible and lend them to my daughter in-law Polly Lesley during her life and after he death I bequeath them to her oldest daughter forever. And further I desire all notes or accounts I may have against my son aforesaid be destroyed. I bequeath to my son Robert Hall Lesly Leatts family Bible and his choice of my surveying compasses forever. I bequeath to my daughter Ann Lesley one bed furniture and bedstead, all her clothing, one half of the kitchen furniture, one cow and calf, six hundred acres of land which I bought from William Man and One horse or Mare at the discretion of my Executors, Scotts family bible to be bought for her and one hundred dollars in money for ever. I also bequeath to her (during the time she remains unmarried) the east half of my dwelling house and that part of my plantation lying west of the road from Abbeville to Pendleton and also the labour of Negro Pomp, which she is to pay taxes for and to clothe. I bequeath to my son William Lesly the whole of the plantation I now live on including thirty acres joining McAlister's old tract of land his clothes, and one bed and furniture, one cow and calf, one horse or mare t the discretion of my executors a saddle and bridle, one ploy and gears, an axe a hoe and mattock; and at the death or marriage of my daughter Ann he is to have the half of the house and that part of my plantation west of Abbeville road forever.

I bequeath to my Executors hereafter to be named (and to be survivor of them) all the remainder of my estate real and personal in trust for the benefit of my three youngest sons, Thomas, David and Samuel forever. And I give them power to sell any part of my estate real or personal (not above bequeathed) as they may think best and when they think most proper and to make such a division and distribution of money or property to each of my three sons aforesaid, as they in there wisdom shall think best taking into consideration what each of my three sons aforesaid has already received in schooling and otherwise. Lastly I hereby make and ordain Robert H. Lesly, Rev. William H. Bar, Samuel L. Watt, Robert Wilson, and Patrick Noble Esqr. , Alexander Bower Esq. And Cole, William H.

From GenForum:
"William Lesley was born September 20, 1795 in SC. Census reports indicate that all but the youngest of his children were born in SC. The youngest was born in AL. William Lesley eventually settled in Pontotoc County, MS where he died February 17, 1879. I have pieced together census reports and come up with the following children for William: Francis M. Lesley (About 1821); Joseph R. Lesley (About 1824); Margaret M. Lesley (b. May 7, 1825); Thomas M. Lesley (b. April 13, 1834); William A. Lesley (b. December 31, 1829); Amanda Lesley (b. About 1834); Robert W. Lesley (b. Abt. 1839); and James H. Lesley (b. About 1841 in AL) People researching the two oldest sons believe William was married to a McCallister(I believe), and this is where Francis McCallister Lesley gets his name. William later marries a Rosanna (Rosy Ann) and she is believed to be the mother of the younger children. Any information would be appreciated--even if you are not sure our lines match. I have been able to find little information on the Lesley family in SC. In Reply to: Lesley family of SC posted by Maribeth Lesley on January 12, 1998 at 22:39:58"
"I am descended from Lesley's in South Carolina but haven't been able to connect all of mine. I am descended from Joseph Leslie born 1807. He came to Georga with Thomas and Nathan Lesley in the late 1830's from Abbeville South Carolina. I think that they are descended from the oldest William Leslie (Born in Ireland) of Abbeville South Carolina but haven't been able to make a definate connection. Check out my homepage."

Dear SUSAN,
I have been promising you a letter for the last six month but owing
to a sick family I have deferred untill now hoping I could inform you
that we were all well. Our negroes were taken sick in August has
never been all well since we have had about a dozen cases of tipoid
(sic - typhoid) fever some four or five at a time, the half of them
very bad cases lasting from 10 to 15 weeks. LEAH lay 15 weeks and
died at last the poorest skeleton you ever saw. Your AUNT BETSY ANN
toiled and waited on them day and night and is still unable to sit
up but verry little yet but is some better. The negroes are all up
at preasent some of them not out yet it is a dreadfull fevour the
Drs seems to not be able to do any thing for it of consequence it has
to take its course and wear itsself out or kill the patitne. it is
said that we have been blessed to have as many cases and lost but one.
Many families have had it and lost 5 or 6 and some as many as 15 or 18.
We had DR. BAKER amongst us last fall holding protracted meeting He
preached a week at Longcain. We had a wonderfull revival the like
never was seen at Longcain, many deeply affected. A full hous
throughout the meeting we had yonge men and young ladies. We have
elected and called a yong man by the name of HOLT. He has had a spell
of sickness has not come on yet but is looked for shortly. My croop
is only midling. I hope we have corn t odo us, owing to sickness.
we are only gining and packing out cotton at this time I think I will
make near 20 baggs weighting 400 lbs. LEMUEL family and WELLOONS
have had good health last fall MRS. ISA MILLER is sick at this time
is better as it is getting late at night I must come to a close.
remember me to your mother and all the family also ERSKINS and
ROBERTS familys. Wright soon
Your affectionate UNCLE SAMUEL REID
