1st. I order and direct that if my wife Sarah Birt should survive me that she shall have the use of all my property both real and personal during her life for her support and at her death to be divided amonst my children in the following manner to wit:
2d. I order and direct that at my wife's death that all my property both Real Estate and personal property be sold and that my son David Birt have One Hundred Dollars of the proceeds thereof, the balance to be equally divided among my children; David included in the division except my daughters Susannah and Lavina, to them I will and bequest One Dollar each, which is all that I allow them of my estate.
3d. I appoint my son Henry Birt my executor of this my last will and testament.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 4 day of June 1851.
