therefore make, ordain, publish and declare this to be my last Will

paid and discharged, the residue of my estate real and personal, I
give, bequeath, and dispose of as follows : to wit.
I give and bequeath as follows: to my daughter Mary Price, one tract
of land, known as the Jack Whitfield land, also, a portion of a tract
known as the Marshall Kornegay lands, lying on the south side of
Marsh Branch, and supposed to contain about thirty five acres.
To my daughter Julia Smith, one tract of land lying on the north
side of White Hall Road and on the west side of the Ave to the Jack
Kornegay barn, thence with a ditch to Jack Whitfield's line, thence
a direct course to Marsh Branch, Mary Price's line, and supposed to
contain about 250 acres.
The balance of my lands of which lies within the County and State
aforesaid, containing about 700 acres, I give and bequeath to my 
five remaining children, viz: Rebecca, Edith Anne, Elizabeth, George
W., and Jesse P. Williams, to be equally divided among them.
Also, I give and bequeath the estate of my son, Major Williams, 
deceased, which by law is now due to me, to my three surviving sons,
viz., Charles, George W. and Jesse P. Williams to be equally divided
among them.
As to my personal estate, I give and bequeath as follows: to my 
daughter Jennette Kornegay, $25 and what I have here-to-fore given
her; and to my daughter Harriett Colvin, I give $600, and it is 
furthermore my will and testament that should there be any money on
hand at my decease, not above mentioned, that it be equally divided
among my six children as follows: Charles, Rebecca, Edith Anne,
Elizabeth, George W. and Jesse P. Williams; and also, all other 
property that may be on hand at the decease of their mother, should
she be my survivor, among the last six mentioned children.
