First I leave to my wife all the tract of land I live upon during her remaining my widow at her decease to be equally divided between my two sons, William and Joshua. The tract of land on Ready Branch I leave to my son Joseph to be in his possession at my decease. I also leave in my wife's possession all my slaves as long as she remains my widow with all my stock and farming tools of every description all my smith goods, household and kitchen furniture of every kind, wagon and gears still and vessels with every other kind of property, at my wife's decease I allow all my slaves to be equally divided amongst all my children. I have given to my daughter Cynthia Walker one Negro girl named Patience to her and her lawful heirs forever over and above her equal share, my stock of cash I leave to my wife to be disposed of as she may think fit.
