"Isaac Cantrill was probably the youngest child of Joseph Cantrill and inherited the old homestead, where his father died. He owned large tracts of land in Caswell and Orange Counties and a mill, which was situated on Stoney Creek. His will was probated in Orange County, North Carolina, May 1838.
"WILL OF ISAAC CANTRILL: "I first desire that all my just debts should be paid and the debts due me should be collected as soon as convenient after my deceased. Secondly, I loan to my belove wife, Rutha Cantrill, the use of my lands and mill; stock of every description that I own, with all my household and kitchen furniture, crops and provisions on hand and farming tools. I also loan to my wife, during her natural life, or widowhood, three negro boys: Frank, Jim and Wesson; in case of her marriage, to be disposed of after my debts and other expenses of settling my estate. What money may remain to be loaned out at interest, and that my wife should annually have the interest for the use and benefit of herself and children. I give to my wife discretionary power of selling a part of the stock loaned her, at any time, that should increase faster than may be needed for the use of my wife and children: the money arising to be used in support of my wife and children. I also direct my wife should sell my negro man, George, at the end of the year 1838, to any person my said wife may think proper, provided she can get $600. I request my wife that as any of my children become of lawful age, or marry, that she should give to them such property as she can conveniently spart, proveded the amount so given should not exceed a child's part of my estate, at the time such property is given; this should be valued and charged to the child as a part of his, or her, interest in my estate. The hire of my negro man, George, for the year 1838, to John Haydon, for the sum of $125, for which I hold his bond, be used, principal and interest for my wife and children, if it is needed. In case of the marriage of my wife, it is my will that my property be equally divided between my wife and children share and share alike. In case of the death of my wife, the estate to be equally divided between my children share and share alike. I appoint my beloved wife, Rutha Cantrill, my executrix of this my last will and testament. Given under my hand and seal this 10th day of November 1837. (Signed) Isaac Cantrill."
