I give...unto Margaretha my dearly beloved wife all of my estate both real and personal to have...as long as she shall live a widow and it is my will that if any of my eight children named John, Catherine, Solomon, Henry, Mary Barbara, Ann, Margaretha Elizabeth and Ann Eva shall begin to keep house for themselves then she shall give unto each of them out of this estate so much for a beginning as she is able to do, provided, however, that one child shall always have equally as much in value as another, which shall always at every time be fixed and established...

2.  But in case she should marry again then all of my land and plantation with my personal property shall be publicly sold by my executors and then she shall have the third part of the whole estate as her own sole property forever and she shall likewise have over and above this said third part one horse creature, one cow and one iron pot, all this of her own choice, and also her own bedding and her chest as her sole property forever.  The remaining two thirds...equally divided amongst my above named children share and share alike...

3.  And I do hereby ordain constitute and appoint my dearly beloved wife Margaretha and my trust friends John Zimmerman and Peter Frazier executors... In witness... I have hereunto put my hand and seal this twelfth day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred.
