the discretion of my executors and after distributing my worldly property

forever to be paid by son Thomas.

Second:  I give to my son George McGuire the one half of my plantation to 
be divided by conditional boundaries, marked and that part of my stock 
which was always named for him, consisting of horses, cows and hogs, and 
the half of my plantation and farming tools forever.

Third:  I give to my son Thomas McGuire the other half of my plantation 
and that part of my stock which was always named for him, and the other 
half of my plantation and farming tools forever.

Fourth:  I give to my much beloved daughters Sally Bell, Marian
