I NATHAN

Advanced in life and knowing my time in this world will soon come to an

-
I will

have her at value, giving such credit as he may think proper.
-
Item,

-
Item,

on which Chaney Stone Lives, to my grandchildren of Chaney & Elizabeth
Stone & Martha J. Stone, and Chaney and Elizabeth Stone have the privilege
to Live on the Land, till the Children comes to a mature age, to acr for
themselves, but if the above said Notes remains unsettled I will that my
Executer, use the best means he can To Secure for my Estate, the demand
of the notes, out of the price of the Land, and if he can get more for
the Land, than the demand of the Notes, then he give it to Chaney Stone.
-
Item.
I will all the rest of my property not mentioned above, to be sold on one
years credit, and after paying expenses and legal demands, my Executer
to keep the balance of the money arising form the Sale and the debts owing

Compensation, for the maintenance of my wife CATHERINE LANGSTON,
during her life, if the Shock holds out, she having Liberty to chose who
she will Live with as Long as She keeps her reason and if there is any
left at her decease I will it be equally divided betwix all my children
after making them Even, refering to my memorandum of what I have given
them and the different value of the Lots of books. N. B.
Before
assigning of this I am disposed to make a small alteration and State
