such live stock or other articles as can be best spared be disposed of to make 
up the deficiency.  2nd.  It is my will that the forty five acres of land 
situated on the west side of the road leading from Smyrna to Sewillsville, 
together with the live stock, wagon, carriage and farming implements, 
household & kitchen furniture be left for the use and benefit of my beloved

annually applied for the use and benefit of my beloved wife in addition to 
what is above specified and the balance arising from the sale of said land, to 
be equally divided amongst my five children, with this exception, that my 
daughter Deborah W. Hall receive one hundred & fifty dollars less than each of

marriage.  4th.  It is my will that my beloved wife Eliza Wilson and my son
