I William Anderson of the above named State and County being much afflicted in

circumstances in life.

It is my wish that all my just debts be paid.

Item 4th 
I give my beloved a bed and furniture and a note on Matthew Leott(?) for sixty 
dollars or thereabout and any thing else that may have come by her and nothing 
more out of my estate.

Item 5th 
I direct that my second daughter Amanda have a bed and furniture and two 
hundred dollars to make her equal with what I have already given my oldest 
daughter Levonia Holland.

schooling to make him equal with Amanda and Levonia.

Item 7th
My youngest daughter Martha is to have a bed and two hundred dollars and one 
years board and schooling to make her equal with the other three thus I direct
