given unto God therefore & calling unto mind the mortality of my body knowing 
that it is appointed unto all men once to die, do make and ordain this my last 
will and testament, that is to say, first of all and principally, I give and 
recommend my soul into the hand of Almighty God that gave it and my body I 
recommend to the earth to be buried in decent Christian burial at the 
discretion of my executors, nothing doubting but at the general Resurrection, 
I shall receive the same again by the almighty power of God and as touching 
such worldly estate it hath pleased God to bless me in this life, I give, 
devise and dispose of the same in the following manner and form (illegible).
I devise and bequeath to my wife Elzy Barrow all my lands her lifetime and if 
she should die without any lawful heirs of my body, it is my request for the 
above mentioned lands to go to Richard Barrow's children.  I will to my Mother 
the just sum of Seventy five dollars.  The balance of my estate to be sold and 
put the use of my creditors.  Likewise, the property that belonged to my wife 
from the estate of her father decd, I wish her keep all her lifetime and then
