Also, I give and bequeath unto my wife, Penelope, five negros namely Will, Sarah, Decca, Lulke and Diner- during her natural life and at her death to be equally divided between my children after paying to my daughters Betsy Askew, Polly Simms, Sally Connell, and Ann Connell the sum of one hundred dollars each.
