buried as becomes a Christian country men in the name of God Amen.

property that is on it during her natural life. It is my desire that two hundred eleven
acres of land joining Jacob Smith & Williams shall be sold or divided among my
following children if agreed on, or if not it is to lie till the decease of my wife &
then all be sold together & divided between six of my children Viz John, James, and
