"Item 1 - I give unto my six sons the land I now live upon until my son Benjamin Welsh comes to age of 20 and then the whole tract to be sold and the money equally divided amongst all my sons as is then alive.  Said will is duly recorded in Prince William County and whereas the aforesaid David, Joshua, John and William Welsh, the four eldest sons (his two youngest sons Daniel and Benjamin who enlisted in the Virginia Regiment being absent) did expose to public sale the remaining part of said tract containing 664 acres.  John Withers was the highest bidder at 361pounds 10 shillings but it was doubted whether or not Benjamin Welsh was 20 years old and whether 664 acres was the exact acreage of the tract.  John Withers demanded a good title, the above gave security that they will do so, and also refund any balance if the survey proves the tract to be less than 664 acres.  Signed David Welsh, Joshua Welsh, John Welsh, William Welsh, John Barbee, James Slaughter, Witness: Joseph Blackwell and Andrew Edwards.
