   of this state and it is my will and pleasure that all my (real) and 
   personal property be equally divided among my dear children according 
   to law Viz. Jacob and Catharine, Daniel Susanna, John, William and

   of this my will and declaring this and no other to be my last will 
   and testament in witness whereof I set my hand and seal this twenty
