ordain, and declare this instrument, which is written by my express 
order and signed by own name to be my last will and testament,

Item.  To my dearly beloved wife Lucinda More I give and bequeath one 
half of my real and personal property to be hers in fee simple forever.

Item.  To my daughter, Joseph Ann, I give and bequeath, the other half 
of my real and personal property in fee simple to be hers forever.

Item.  All notes or money which I may have on hand shall be equally 
divided between my wife, Lucinda More, and my daughter Joseph Ann More.

Item.  It is my request that my body be buried in a decent stile and 
the funeral expenses be paid before the aforesaid division shall be 
made.

Lastly, I constitute and appoint my dearly beloved wife Lucinda More, 
my Father in law Benjamin Boulton and Jason C. Scears, William 
Harkiness, Executrix and Executors of this my last will and testament.

It is my express will that my property be equally divided between my 
wife and child as above named by my executors in as equitable a manner 
as they may deem jUHL and right.  In witness of all herein contained 
I have set my hand and seal this the fifteenth day of April, in the 
year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred forty-three.
