      2nd I give to Mary Utley (Daughter of Allen Utley) one brindled cow and calf in payment for waiting on me, while in low state of health.

      Thirdly, I give and bequeath to the rest of my children or their heirs an equal Share of the remainder of my property after paying my Funeral expenses and all my just debts, that is to say I wish my property to be sold on a credit of twelve months, and the money arising from the sale thereof with what money I have coming to me, and what I have in hand at my decease to be equally divided between the rest of my children though some of them be dead, I wish their heirs to have what would be a living ones part. I here name my childrens names the Dead as well as the Living, that is to say
      Abigail, Rebecca, Laban, Alvin, Josiah, Delpha, Bethany, Chrischany, Mary, Zilpha and Charity. At the same time I do appoint William Betts, Augustin Turner and Augustin Jones executors to this my last [Will] and Testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this Sixth day of May in the year of our Lord one Thousand eight hundred and forty.
