expenses attending the same together with all other just claims that may be 
exhibited against my estate be punctually paid.

	Secondly, I will and bequeath all the residue of my estate both real 
and personal to my beloved and affectionate brothers, namely Watson Petty, 
Samuel Petty & William Petty to be divided equally among them share and share 
alike.  But should any of my brothers not survive to full age so as to take 
possession of said property it is my will that his share shall be equally 
divided among his surviving brothers.

	And lastly I ordain and appoint by trust friend and affectionate 
brother Watson Petty my executor to this my last will and testament.
