a low state of health but of sound mind, blessed be the Almighty God for the 
same. I do make and publish this my last will and testament in manner and form 
following to wit. I will that as ssoon as convenient after my death that my 
goods and chattels stock and household furniture be indifferently appraised and 
sold at public auction and that all my just debts together with my funeral 
expenses and all charges arising from settlement of my estate be fully paid and 
satisfied. Then I bequeath unto my loving wife Elizabeth one third part of all 
the moneys that shall remain if she be satisfied therewith, but if not I allow 
her to take the full extent the law will allow her. And all the residence I 
bequeath unto my children William Eleanor Hugh Robert Amos Charlotte and George 
share and share alike to be paid to them by their guardians at their several 
respective ages twenty one years having paid my daughters Jane Catharine and 
Margaret their respective shares already I allow them one dollar each and no 
more. And further I hereby appoint my son William B. Laird sole executor of 
this my last will and testament and David Wilson overseer of the same. In 
witness whereof I have herewith set my hand and Seal this the Seventh day of 
June in the year of Our Lord 1854. John W. Laird his seal
