that may first come into their hands as a part and parcel of my estate.

I give and bequeath to my beloved wife Hariett the following tract of land Viz 
The home tract on which I now reside containing three hundred and fifty acres 
more or less during her natural life and then the said land to be equally

have and to hold during her natural life then to be equally divided between my 
six youngest children Viz Robert T., John B., Nathan J., William B., Richard J. 
and Sarah C. King, I also desire that my son Robert T. King after the demise of 
my wife Hariett pay to my son William B. King one hundred dollars and John B.

And lastly I do hereby constitute and appoint my sons Robert T. and John B. 
King my lawful executors to all intents and purposes to execute this my last 
will and testament to the true intent and meaning of the same and every clause 
and meaning thereof hereby making and declaring utterly void all other wills 
and testaments by me heretofore made in witness whereof I hereunto set my hand 
and seal this the fourteenth day of Feburary 1860.
