plantation tools household and kitchen furniture and any other property of 
which I may be possessed or own at the time of my death to be equally divided 
between them.

My will is that if either of my said children Hamilton or Martha should die 
before me the whole of  the property shall go to the survivors or their 
children if they should have any.
