land, upon which she now lives, during her natural life, and at her 
death, I give said land to all her children theirs forever.

Patsy Cole the tract of land, upon which they now live, containing one
hundred and twenty-two acres and a half acres, by survey, during their
natural lives to be equally divided between them, and at their death, 
I give the same land to their children forever.

Fourthly I give and bequeath to my two granddaughters Susanna Lackey 
and Patsy Ferguson the tract of land which I own, lying on the ridge 
between the waters of Brush Creek and Whetstone, containing one hundred 
acres, to have forever.

Fifthly It is my will and desire that all the balance of my estate, 
which I now own or may own at my death, real, personal or mixed, be 
given to my daughter, Catharine Lewis forever.
