---------- Will pro May 1844 (partially transcribed):
I do ordain or determine the following disposition of my worldly substance. My wife & family may choose two cows out of the flock for their benefit and keep four hogs which will be necessary for their use also ten sheep of the [their?] choice and my wife shall also keep all the household furniture. She shall also keep all the wheat, meat, & flour which I now have for the sumers [summer's?] provision of the family. The watch which is now in Johns possession John shall keep until William is twenty one years of age and then John shall give the watch to William. I also allow the field of grain which is up north of the house to be reserved for the use of the family. I also ordain that the balance of the cattle, sheep and hogs, the farming utensils, geers [gears?] and all the horses except Susans are all to be sold and all the debts paid out of the proceeds of the sale. All the grain which is in the ground is also to be sold except the field above the house. If any more money is left of the proceeds of the sale than will pay the [missing word?] it shall be equally divided among the children. I also wish John to give William a finished literary education at his own expense and as a compensation to John for Williams education I allow him an equal dividend of all the real estate. The farm shall not be sold until William is twenty one years of age, after which if necessary or thought by the family to be advantageous it may be sold.
I also appoint my wife and son John Executors of the Estate. Any book accounts and outstanding debts are to be collected by John and his mother for aiding to pay the debts. The amount of money thirty one dollars which Richard Davis owes me after his account is taken out shall also be put into the hands of John and his mother for their aid in paying the debts.
