I Henry Kime of the county of Bath and state of Virginia being now old, and knowing well that it's ordained once for all men to die and being in sound mind and memory do make, constitute, and ordain this to be my last will and testament, that is to say I will and desire that in the first place all my just debts should be paid out of my personal estate and that my body be buried in a decent and Christian like manner at the discretion of my executors hereafter named.
