and testament.  It is my will that the tract of land on which I 
live to be given to my son Robert at my decease, only he shall 
give one-third of the grain and hay with a third of the fruit 
produced by the orchard to my three daughters Nancy, Elizabeth 
at Rebecca while these remain single.  It is further my will that 
my daughters before mentioned to have a possession of my dwelling 
house in which I now live while they remained single with all the 
household and kitchen furniture such as beds and bedding, tables 
and cupboard etc. these to be equally divided among them- and also 
I further will and allow that whatever is left of my horses cows 
sheep and such like after all my debts be discharged shall be 
equally divided by my executors between my three daughters, further 
I will and allow that my loom with all the appurtanances be given 
to my daughter Elizabeth. I further will and allow that my son John

in cash by Robert at two years after this my testament comes in 
force.
