beloved wife Maria all the estate real personal and mixed which I may be
entitled to after my death, either in possession reversion or remainder, to
hold to her, her heirs and assigns forever. And lastly I do hereby nominate,
make and appoint my trusty friend and brother in law John H Duchman Executor
