understanding, having his memory and the knowledge of mortality my body and that

give it first hoping it will be restored to me again by the almighty power of
the Lord almighty, and my body to the Grave, to be interred with a decent
Christian Burial, at the discretion of my Executors, and as touching my wordly
(sic) Goods, which God has in my Lifetime, was pleased to bless me with, I give
and dispose off in the following manner and form:

After all my lawfull (sic) debts are paid, premises all I leave to my beloved
wife Miserly (sp?) to posess and enjoy my Land and all that I posess as long as
She lives, and after her decease, I give and bequeath to Reubin Mathews my

and so up the said river to the Fish dam fords, and from thence opposite to a
small Branch, and up to said Branch to the head, and thence a due West course,
