I, John Beaty, of the Township of Armstrong, in the County of Indiana, being in
perfect health, and sound in mind, memory, and understanding (thanks be to
Almighty God for  the same ) , being mindful of my mortality, do make and
ordain this, my last will and testament.. 
First, and principally, I recommend my soul to God, who gave it, in hopes for a
joyful  resurrection and my body to the earth to be buried decently  at the
discretion of my executors.
And as to such worldly estate  wherewith it has pleased God to bless me, I give
and dispose thereof as follows:
It is my will, and I do order and direct that my well beloved wife, Sarah Beaty , be
furnished with a sufficient  maintenance of the plantation I now live on.
Next, I do give and bequeath to my son, Robert, the plantation I now live on , to
him and his heirs forever, he supporting and maintaining his mother agreeably.

	And further, I do allow my son, William, the sum of fifty dollars,  to be paid to
him 	by my son Robert.

	him by my son Robert,

	remain in my shop.
	And I do further allow that all the residue  of my personal estate be equally
divided 	betwixt my sons Robert, William, and Alexander.
	And I do further allow that all the furniture of the kitchen be given to my wife ,
	Sarah Beaty.
	I do nominate and appoint my sons James and Robert Beaty to be my executors of
	this,  my last will and testament
	I publish  and declare this, and no other, to be my last will and testament , in
