With regard to my freehold estate, I direct that my executors rent it from year to year for as long a term as they may think best but until my daughter Sarah Elizabeth McElroy shall arrive to the age of twenty-one years, the rest to be appropriated to the support of my father Alexander McElroy in accordance with the provisions of an instrument in writing which I gave him which was left in the hands of JR Andrews for safe keeping. The residue of the rent to be appropriated for the support of my wife and infant daughter, Sarah Elizabeth, if the same shall be one ? if all the money arising from the rent of the farm shall not be needed for the above purposes nor for the payment of my debts, then the surplus to be laid out in improvements on the place.

To my brothers, James, Samuel and William Jewett, I give my wearing apparel to be equally divided among them. To my nephew Alexander McElroy Vail, I give my watch. As to my freehold estate, together Wilh all the rest residue and remainder of my estate, I give to my daughter Sarah Elizabeth on her becoming of lawful age to have and to hold to her heirs and assigns forever on condition that if my father, Alexander McElroy should then be living, she should provide for him as I am bound to do. And further that she shall provide for and take care of her mother if she shall be in circumstances to require it through her life. and to my father , I direct my executors to let him from time to time make his own choice as to making his home where and with whom he pleases.
I hereby revoke all former wills and appoint my beloved wife, Sally David McElroy, James McElroy and Dr Ethan B Carpenter as executors of this my last will and testament. In witness whereof , I hereunto set my hand and seal this twentyfifth day of May, one thousand, eight hundred and fifty-one. Alexander McElroy. His Mark.
