Names wife Martha and friend Nathan Archibald as Executors

Eldest son William is deeded the plantation upon the death of his mother. 
If William should die without heir, the plantation is to return to Edward's 
two daughters (unnamed in will).

Martha is to sell houses and lots in Bath Town to enable her to pay off 
debts and to buy her some help to bring up the children--and if so be it 
should be in her power to lay up something to buy a plantation for son 
Edward.

All goods and moveable estate are to be distributed equally between Martha 
and all the children.

Son Nathaniel is left five shillings sterling to buy him a Bible.
