Second, I direct that my body be decently intered in the burying ground at Rehoboth Church according to the rights and ceremonys of the said Church and that my funeral expenses be conducted in a manner corresponding with my estate and situation in life. Third, and as to my worldly goods and estate as it hath pleased a bountiful and wise providence to entrust me with I dispose of in the following manner. I direct that all my just debts and funeral expenses be paid as soon after my decease as convenient out the first money. Fourth, I will and bequeath to my daughters Mariah Patton and Sarah Patton all that portion of my real estate described as follows (except a reasonable interest in the same for my daughter Elizabeth as will appear after) beginning at the northeast corner of my orchard fence adjoining the land of John Brown Esq, thence in an easterly direction to a mulberry tree at a gate and continuing on to a second mulberry tree and fence thence up said fence in a northerly direction so as to take off or leave six acres of land in the upper field for the home place thence in an easterly direction to the land of Thomas Patton thence following the line of the old survey of my father's deed to the place of beginning suppose to contain eighty acres more or less, and it is also my wish and desire that my said daughters Mariah and Sarah should hold and keep the above described 80 acres more or less for their own mutual and equal benefit, but in case some unforseen circumstance should occur, that it became necessary for one or both to sell then I desire that they give my son William Patton the preference. Fifth, I will and bequeath to my son William Patton the residue or balance of my real estate and his heirs and assigns forever (except a reasonable provision for the maintenance of my daughter Elizabeth). Sixth, my will and desire is and I do direct that my daughter Elizabeth Patton have a comfortable living and home together with food and raiment her natural life from the proceeds of my entire farm. Seventh I will and bequeath unto my son Joseph Patton one thousand dollars to be paid in the following manner - say five hundred dollars in two years and five hundred dollars in five years after my decease. Eighth I will and bequeath all moveable and house hold goods that I may have on hand at my decease in the following manner.
