In the name of God, Amen. I, James Hunter of the town of Mooers in the County of

considering the uncertainty of this life, do therefore make, ordain, publish and 
declare this to be my last will and testament. That is to say, First, after all 
my lawful debts are paid and discharged, I give and bequeath to my son Joseph

land more or less being part of a larger lot known as the Refugee Tract in the 
Town of Mooers aforesaid, and also one half of the stock consisting of cattle, 
sheep and horses which I now own, and also one thousand dollars in money. And to 
my son John I also give and bequeath all of my farm on which I and my family now 
reside consisting of one hundred and seventy five acres of land more or less 
together with one half of all the stock consisting of cattle, sheep and horses, 
and being the rest of my stock after giving my son Joseph the half above named. 
And to my wife Jane I give one thousand dollars in money and she must have her 
support from my two sons who must bear an equal share in the expense of keeping 
her during her natural life and also any other monies that may belong to me 
after disposing as above. Also all other personal property such as furniture and 
household goods, farm tools, etc. Likewise I make constitute and appoint Joseph 
Hunter of Mooers aforesaid to be Executor of this, my last will and testament, 
hereby reviking all former wills by me made. In witness whereof, I have hereunto 
subscribed my name, and affixed my seal, the 13th day of December in the year
