In the matter of Proving the last will and testament Roswell B. Webb,
deceased.

"Know all men by these presents that I, Roswell B. Webb, now of Hubbardton, in
the county of Rutland and state of Vermont, but late of Stockholm, in the
county of St. Lawrence and state of New York, being in infirm health but of
sound mind and memory, do make and publish this my last will and testament,
hereby revoking all former wills by meat any time heretofore made.

First: After the payment of my just debts and funeral expenses, it is my will
that the sum of four hundred dollars vest? in the lands and be under the
management and improvement of my executors hereinafter named and appointed to
be placid and kept at interest on what they shall judge to be good security,
and that such interest shall yearly be applied and paid over to my wife Orpha
Webb, for her benefit, maintainence and support, so long as she shall remain
my widow, and in case the annual interest of the said sum should be smaller in
amount than the sum which my said wife may need for her maintainence and
support, it is my will that she be allowed to draw from the principal of the
said sum of four hundred dollars from time to time, at the discretion of my
executors, so much of the said principal sum as may be necessary for her
support. But it is my will that the foregoing provision for the benefit of my
said wife shall not be obligatory upon my said executors only so long as she
may remain my widow, and that the same shall be taken and accepted by said
wife in lieu, and in full of her right of dower or third in my estate.

Second: It is my will that the said sum of four hundred dollars be raised by
my executors out of my estate, either by collecting debts which are or may be
due to me or by the sale of my personal estate, or by the sale of my real
estate in their discretion, hereby giving them full power to act for that
purpose as in their judgement shall appear to be for the best interest and
advantage of my estate.

Third: It is my will that my wife Orpha Webb shall have the household
furniture which she brought into my house at the time of our marriage, and
that the remainder of my household furniture be divided equally as near as may
be between my two daughters Prudence W. Webb and Cleora S. Webb.

Fourth: It is my will that my estate be settled as soon after my decease as
shall by my said executors be found convenient; and I do hereby give, devise
and bequeath to my said executors hereinafter named all my real estate in the
county of St. Lawrence aforesaid in trust to sell, dispose of and convey the
same or such parts thereof as may by them be found expedient for the rises,
ends and purposes in this my last will mentioned and for no other use or
purpose whatsoever. and it is also my will that my said executors shall
execute the contracts which I have made for the sale and conveyance of pany
part of my said real estate by making such conveyances as are provided for in
such contracts, according to the tenor of my obligations as specified in such
contracts.

Fifth: All the rest and residue of my estate, whether real, personal, or
mixed, of which I shall die seized and _______ and all of the estate whether
it be real, personal or mixed to which I shall be entitled at the time of my
decease (except as herein before provided) I give devise and bequeath to be
equally divided to and among my daughters Prudence W. Webb and Cleora S. Webb,
and my two sons, William Tully Webb and John Wesley Webb.

Sixthly:  I do nominate and appoint my father Reuben Webb, of said Hubbardton
and my brother in law Martin Strait of said Stockholm to be the executors of
this my last will and testament; and I do also give to each of them all the
power and upon in each of them all and every trust which I have given to them
jointly; and it is my will that etiher of my executors shall be answerable for
any of my estate received, or to be received by the other executor.

In testimony whereof I the said Roswell B. Webb have hereunto set my hand and
seal, and publish and declare this to be my last will and testament this
fourteenth (14th) day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and forty six (A.D. 1846) in the presence of witnesses named below.
