acres which I bought of Jeremiah Rodon which is included in the said
Company's grant; 151 acres of land which I bought of Jeremiah Rodon; the
negroes used on the said plantation except Jacob and Harry; all stock on the

stands on.

Son: Thomas Hopewell, the land on the east side of Lowison Creek which

Creek, then up said creek as the courses run which I have laid down to my
son, James Hopewell.

Son: Pollard Hopewell, all of the lands I have where Aquilla Hall now lives

she has already received.
