    it crosses the Wagon Road which leads from the ferry to the Iron
    Works; thence up to Beaver Dam Creek to the mouth of the second
    Branch; thence up the side branch 200 yards; thence due North till
    it intersects with the line of the said Lattimore place which joins
    land formerly the property of Colonel JOSEPH HOWE; thence along the
    sidelines until it joins track I now live on.

All which lands above-described I give and devise to my son said son ALBERT
his heirs and assigns forever subject never the less to the following
encumbrance to wit that my wife ELIZABETH ALLISON do have the use and
occupation of the houses and land for the purpose of supporting herself and
raising the rest of my children during the minority of my said Son and for
four years afterwards and then that she have the use an occupation of one
third part of the above devised plans during her natural life should she
remain a widow.

Secondly I will and direct that my executrix and executors, or any two or
more of them, to sell and execute titles to and for the remaining part of my
Lattimore Plantation not herein before disposed of and also to sell and
execute titles to and for all that Plantation on which I formerly lived lying

share together with my wife.

I also will and direct my executors to sell all my cattle, Hogs, and horses
which they think in their discretion would be unnecessary to keep on the
plantation for the support theirof. And that should the remaining stock on
the plantation increase beyond the number necessary to keep for the
plantation and family use that they have power at any time to sell such
unnecessary part of the stock.
