      bWill of Fleet Cooper, Sr.
      /b1931 , Sampson County, North Carolina
      In the name of God, Amen.
      I, Fleet Cooper, Senior of the county of Sampson and state of North Carolina, being of sound mind and memory, calling to mind the mortality of my body, do make and ordain this, my last will and testament in the following manner and form:

      First: I give to the estate of my son John Cooper, deceased. one cow and calf, he having received part of his legacy in his lifetime.

      Likewise to my son Fleet Cooper 136 acres of land where he now lives.

      Likewise to my son William Cooper 150 acres of land where he now lives and all the land I own on Sheppard's Branch.

      Likewise to my son Coore Cooper the tract of land that I bought of James Bennett and Henry Easterling and 150 acres joining the same; and 150 acres of land at the White Pond and head of the Great Branch.

      Likewise to my daughter ELIZABETH Wiggins I give five shillings, she having already received her legacy.

      Likewise to my daughter Mary Peterson I give five shillings, she having already received as aforesaid.

      Likewise to my daughter Grace Holmes I give five shillings, she also having received as aforesaid.

      Likewise to Polly Holmes, daughter of the said Grace Holmes, seventy five acres of land where the said Grace now lives the right vested in the said Polly after the death of her mother, the said Grace, who is to have her lifetime on the said land.

      And all the rest of my property I leave to my son, Coore Cooper; and each legacy to each of the legatees as before mentioned, to them their theirs(sic) and assigns forever.

      And I, the said Fleet Cooper, Senior, acknowledge this and no other to be my last will and testament.

      In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal; this 2nd day of July, 1795.
      Test:
      Fleet Cooper, Jr.
      William Cooper
      Abner Fort.
      See Will Book 8, p. 255, Clinton, NC
      Certification:
      North Carolina
      Sampson County

      This is to certify that the above is a true and correct copy of the will of Fleet Cooper, Sr., as recorded in the Clerk's Office of Sampson County, in Book No. 8, at page 255, Clinton, NC
      This August 5th, 1930
      Clerk seal imprinted

      Clerk, Superior Court.
      bIn her iSampson County Abstracts, 1784-1900/i, Elizabeth Ross noted that Fleet Cooper, Senior, made his mark: Fleet (X) Cooper. We know from earlier deeds that Fleet, Sr, could sign his name. Consequently, I have concluded that Fleet apparently was incapacitated by a stroke, perhaps occurring much earlier than 2 July 1795 when he wrote his will. /b
