Item, I give devise and bequeath unto my beloved wife Margaret all my estate real personal and mixed to which I may be in any manner entitled to hold to her the said Margaret her heirs and assigns forever, except what is yet to be received by me from my father and mother's estate, which I give devise and bequeath to my brother and sisters and the legal representatives of such as may be dead to them their heirs and assigns forever. Lastly I nominate constitute and appoint my beloved wife Margaret to be the sole executrix of this my last will and testament. In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this eight day of November Anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and thirty one. John Musser.
