same, doth nominate and appoint after my decease, my world affairs as follows,

Secondly, I give unto my son Charles Henderson one shotgun and shot bag.
Thirdly, I give unto my son Ezekiel Henderson one large pewter dish.
Fourthly, I give unto my son Barnabas Henderson (Junior) one yearling heffer. 
Fifthly, I give unto my son Josiah Henderson one pair hand bellows.  Sixthly I
give unto my daughter Sarah Morton one trunk.  Seventhly, I give unto my
daughter Elizabeth Edmonston one pewter basin.  Eighthly and lastly I give to
my wife Mary Henderson all the rest of my property for to enable her to raise
and school my two children, Hardy and Jesse Henderson that I had by her,
provided the said Mary Henderson converts it to the above use.  If not applied
in right manner, my son Barnabas will see that my son Hardy and Jesse shall be
entitled to the same and I appointed my lawful wife Mary Henderson to act as
executrix on company with my son Barnabas as executor to my estate.  And I so
revoke all other wills by me made but this.  In witness whereof I have
hereunto set my hand this first day of June 1799.
