make and ordain this my last Will and Testament. First- I order and direct
that all my just debts be paid. Second- I give and bequeath to my beloved wife
Catharine one third part of the residue of my personal estate, after payment
of my debts absolutely. And I give and devise to my said wife one third part
of all my real estate for and during her natural life. Third- I give and
bequeath to my daughter Mary Bowen and to my sons John Lemley, Jacob Lemley,
George Lemley, and Samuel Lemley five dollars each to be paid to them
respectively by my executors. Fourth- I give and bequeath to my daughter
Susannah Leiming and to Rachel Willey two hundred dollars each- the said sum
of two hundred dollars is to be paid to each of them eighteen months after my
decease. Fifth- I give and bequeath to my daughter Catharine Six fifty
dollars. Sixth- I give and bequeath to my son Peter Lemley three hundred
dollars to be paid to him eighteen months after my decease. Seventh- I give
and devise to my sons Isaac Lemley and David Lemley and to their heirs and
assigns all that tract of land whereon I now live situate in the County of
Greene including the sixty nine acres adjoining the State Line and lands of
Nicholas Smith and others bought of Chalfant. The part of my said land which
lies South of the line of partition run by Stephen Gapen I devise to my said
son David his heirs and assigns forever subject to the said third given for
life as aforesaid to my said wife. And the part of my said lands which lie
North of the said line run by Stephen Gapen I devise to my said son Isaac
Lemley his heirs and assigns forever subject to the said one third thereof
given for life as aforesaid to my said wife. And I devise and bequeath to my
said sons Isaac and David all the residue and remainder of my estate real and
personal not otherwise disposed of by this my last Will and Testament. And I
hereby constitute and appoint my said sons Isaac Lemley and David Lemley
executors of this my last Will and Testament hereby revoking all former Wills
by me heretofore made. In testimony whereof I have hereto set my hand and Seal
this tenth day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and twelve.
