(Octavius Haymond will)

"I Octavius Haymond of the County of Monongalia and
State of Virginia knowing the uncertainty of that hangs over
the lives of men and being desirous of so arranging my worldly
affairs as to have my business setled and my debts honestly and 
justly paid do ordain and make the following as my last will and
testament.
          First, I desire that after my debts are paid that all
my children should share alike and have an equal interest
in my estate that shall be left. Secondly, I desire that if it is
necessary to sell any of my land to pay my debts tht a number
of acres sufficient to pay my debts shall be sold to commence
on Brumages line north of my present wheat field and ???ing north
of my coal bank to my brother Marcus W. Haymonds line on
the ridge but I desire if my brother Johnathan H. Haymond
(who is my principal creditor) together with brother Marcus W.
Haymond will that they shall settle and pay all my debts (as
I am informed they are willing to do) and wait for the money
until my two sons Thomas and William becomes of age and then
make such arrangements with my said sons for the payment
of the money as to them may seem right, so as to secure for them
and my family all my lands and if they then connot make
such arrangement satisfactory to themselves that the above described part 
of my land shall be sold to pay the full of amount of the money which I
owe Jonathan H. Haymond and the smount that they shall pay in
setling and paying off my debts. My personal property I wish kept for
the use and benefit of my family in assisting in raising and educating
my children. And for the purpose of selling my land when it shall
required by Johnathan H. Haymond and Marcus W. Haymond or my
other creditors I hereby appoint my nephew Alphaeus F. Haymond
to sell the said land before described, and I authorize and empower
him to sell and make title to the purchasor and I also authorize the
said Alphaeus F. Haymond to convey a small piece of land that
I sold to my brother Marcus W. Haymond for which I give him
a title bond.
