and annulling all others heretofore made by me.

by decent interment to its mother earth.

debts, if any, I give and bequeath share and share alike to my
three children viz Samuel Tarver, Sarah Vollotton, and Etheldred
J. Tarver, and to be divided with or without sale as they may
deem best.

Item 10th:     I constitute and appoint my trusty and well
beloved sons, Samuel and Etheldred J. Tarver my true and lawful
executors to carry this my last Will and Testament into full and
complete effect.
