Sorry Dick - you are in error! Two documents - one a Transfer of Real
Property and one a Transfer of Personal Property and HANNAH IS MENTIONED!

To all people to whom these presents shall ... come ...Charles Stewart, of
the State of North Carolina and County of Wake, saith Greeting’s. Know ye
that of the said Charles Stewart, for and in consideration of the natural
love, good will and affection which I have and doth bear unto my son, James
Stewart, and also for his advancement in this life, doth give, grant Alien
estoppel, and confirm unto my said son, James, and to his heirs and assignees
forever, all my whole estate, Consisting of one negro woman camed Cloe, all
my stock of any kind, all my household furniture and working tools and every
other kind of property that belongs to me at the time of my decease, only
reserving all the above said premises, and the use thereof unto myself and to
MY WIFE, HANNAH, for and during of, both our natural lives, and the said
Charles Stewart doth warrant by these presents forever, defend all the above
said premises unto my said son, James, and to his heirs and assignees forever
from any lawful claim as can be laid to the same, or my part thereof by any
person or persons, whatsoever, only reserving the use of the same as above
limited. In witness whereof, the said Charles Stewart doth hereunto set his
hand and seal, this 7th day of May 1805.
