And when the youngest child comes of age and after they all have the amount above named, the ballance of my Estate if any remains, to be sold to the highest bidder in a credit of twelve months and the proceeds thereof equally divided among all my children, or their legal representatives, always reserving to my wife her right of Dower. ...vant it expressly understood that it is my wish and desire for all my children to stay together and cultivate my land on which I live and that my part of the Cold Brand place be rented yearly to the best advantage or sold if Dawson C. Harris desires it and [pg. 182] Half the proceeds (after paying the expenses of sale) which is equitably and lawfully mine, be applied to the payment of debts (if any topay, or loaned at interest) till the youngest becomes of age, and then if my wife is living, I want her to have an equal share with the balance of my heirs. It is my wish and hereby appoint Coleman E. Harris and Dawson C. Harris my Executor and Executrix to this my Last Will and Testiment this eighteenth day of Jun 1851. We Wm. W. Moss and Thomas R.
