      I, JAMES McCULLOUGH do make and publish this my last will and 
testament hereby revoking and making void all other wills by me at any time 
made. 

      1st, I direct that my funeral expenses and all my debts be paid as 
soon after my death as possible out of any money that I may die possessed of 
or that may first come into the hands of my executors. 

      2nd, I give and bequeath to my wife Rhoda McCullough all my corn and 
pork hogs and all that is in the house and one small colt and one mans saddle 
and at her death all the above named articles left to belong to James R 
McCullough Also the said James R McCullough is to have one hundred dollars 
over and equal share of the rest of my heirs out of the proceeds of my land 
when sold. 

      I wish my land all rented so long as my wife Rhoda McCullough lives 
and Richard Robin to have the benefit of the rent by supporting her as long 
as she lives and taking care of her. 

      And at her death I wish my land all to be sold and equally divided 
between all my heirs except the above James R McCullough who is to have one 
hundred dollars over. 

      I want one bay horse I have sold to pay my debts and to the benefit of 
my wife.

witness whereof I do to this my last will and testament set my hand and seal 
this 25th day of December 1851
