I have been looking at West Wills in the NC State Archives: The following posts are for you to use as you see fit.

First: William West NC Wills Secretary of State

Source: North Carolina Original Wills, Secretary of State Records 1663 * 1790, Tully, Thomas * Zimmerman, John, North Carolina State Archives S. 108.203 (Microfilm).

Location: The index to NC Wills lists this one as being in the Secretary of State Records and the Original on File in Archives.

Craven County February 1750 Court
Key Family Points listed in the Will:
· "*loving wife Rebecah (sp?? Unclear Rebeckor) ..." · "*my son John West *" · "*son Daniel West *" · "*son William West *" · "*son Samewill (sp?? Unclear) *" · "*son James West *" · "*daughter Mary Lane *" · "*daughter Elizabeth West *" · "*daughter Lydia West *"

Both the wife's name and son Samewill were hard to read. I have tried to give it the closest I could make out. Wife is listed "Rebeccah" in court note with the will.

Difficult to read some spots are blurry and need to look at the original in the Archives Section.
