And the more effectonlly to answer their purposes, it is my will that a good overseer be employed from time to time by my executrix and executors or any two of them, to discharge the services usually performed by overseers. But should my said wife marry then and from the time of her marriage she shall cease to have any control over my property, except that part thereof which is hereby expressly bequeathed to her during her life, and her power as executrix shall instantly cease and determine, and my executors shall place my property in such hands, of my family, and shall require from such person or persons as they may interest with the source or any part thereof a bond or bonds with ample security for any honest and faithful care of the source, and for the due return thereof. And it is moreover my will that my children come to the ages following, viz,... my daughters to the age of eighteen years; and my sons the age of twenty one, that they be severally entitled to receive their portions of my property thereby given, bequeathed and devised to them. That is to say should there be then living at the time the first become of age as aforesaid five children of me and my wife Mary Hollinger, or their lawful descendants, then my executrix and executors shall endeavor to make a fair estimate of the value of each species of property coming to them, according to the true meaning and intention of this my last will and testament, reckoning land one species, negroes another, cattle another, and all kind of property another, and of each of these four species of property, such child so coming of age shall have the fifth part (provided there be five of the lawful descendants then living) as nearly as circumstances will admit of and where one of the remaining four come to age as aforesaid he shall or she shall receive his or her fourth part in like manner and so of the rest, -- but should any child die and leave no children, before having received his or her portion; then such portion shall be equally divided among the surviving children or their descendants, whether already having received their portion or not. Any child having received his share shall the same to them, his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns forever. And I hereby make, and constitute, and appoint my beloved wife Mary Hollinger executrix, and my friends Harry Toulmin and William Pierce of the said county, executors of this my last will and testament. And should either of my executors of this my last will and testament. And should either of my executors ---- unwilling to act, or having should desire to cease to do so; then I authorize them and my said executrix to appoint some good honest man to be executor in his place. And it is my desire that no appraisement be made of my property., legally due to me. And I appoint my said executrix and executors jointly guardians of my children and desire that particular attention be paid to their education and good conduct, that they may become useful and respectable members of society.
