In the name of God, amen.

And after all my just debts and funeral expenses are paid out of my estate, then all the rest residue and remainder of my whole estate of whatever name and nature the same be, I give devise and bequeath the same unto my beloved wife Lydia for and during her natural life, or as long as she remains my widow. And after her decease unto my only child or daughter Polly. And my will is that while my said wife Lydia remains my widow she shall have the sole disposal and control of my estate as to her may seem best and shall bring up and educate our said daughter Polly to the best of her means, and power, in a Christian way and manner according to her ability. But in case my said wife Lydia should marry again, then it is my will that she shall as soon as convenient have the moiety or half part of the whole of my estate then left (whether increased or decreased under her management) and I give and bequeath the said moiety or half part to her under such case, absolutely, and the other moiety or half part of my state I give and bequeath unto my said daughter Polly. And lastly I do nominate constitute and appoint my brother John Mosser and my brother in law Isaac Weaver to be the executors of this my last will and testament. Hereby revoking all former wills and testaments by me at any time made heretofore, declaring this and none other to be my last will and testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal the third day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty nine. Henry Mosser.
