I Martha Morris of Louisa County, Virginia make this my last will & testament My just debts are all to be paid--My negro woman Suckey, her children & grand children, are to be set free & such of them as are willing sent to the Colony of Liberia in Africa. Such as will not go to Liberia are to be sent to any of the United States where the laws will permit them to live & where they they be willing to go. If they (or any of them) will not go out of this state I desire that application may be made to the Virginia Legislature to permit them to stay here For their transportation, removal, & maintenance whether they go away or remain in this state I give five hundred dollars out of my estate One hundred and fifty dollars thereof for the benefit of my woman Sall & her children. The remainder for old Sukey, Serena & Susan & such others (their children) as at my death may be unable to provide for themselves, and I wish these sums to be dealt out by my executors at such times & in such portions (in pursuance of the above provision) as they may deem best for the interest of said slaves. Of the above named plans I most particularly wish for the transportation to Liberia. I desire that all accounts now subsisting between my brother James M. Morris & myself, shall from & after my death be considered as finally closed & settled.
I appoint my s.d brother James & my nephews Thomas Richard & Edward Garland Executors of this my will.
And in testimony that this is my last will & testament I have hereto put my hand & seal this thirtieth day of June Eighteen hundred & twenty six.
