Rachel Whitaker, Sally Singleton

1782 July 20th A codicil to the above Will,
Whereas Eve's bad behaviour laid me under the necessity of selling her I Order and direct that the money she sold for may be laid out in purchasing two Negroes Viz; a Boy & Girl, the Girl I give to my Niece Ann Coapland in lieu of Eve, in the same manner that I had give Eve. The Boy I give to Peyton Harrison son of my Brother Carter Harrison, to him & his heirs forever. I have lent Charlotte to my Niephew Harrison Randolph during my life. As he will perhaps be at some expence in raising & maintaining other Children she may have - as a gratuity I give to him & his Heirs forever her son called Thomas Prouce. I have given in my Will, forty Pounds paper currency to be divided amongst the Servants instead of which I Order Ten Pounds of the money to be given to my Niece E Harrison if she should be living with me at the time of my death in order to enable her to pay her Expences to some friendly roof. I think I have express myself with regard to Thomas Pruse [?] in a manner that may leave room for a dispute to prevent which I declare my Will is that Harrison Randolph is to have the said Thomas Pruse at all events I give to my Niece Eliza Harrison my dressing Table and Glass that stands in my Chamber and the Cabinet on the Top of the Desk.
