I give to my beloved wife, $100.00 to school my eight youngest children and I also desire her, my beloved wife, to keep the real and personal estate together, to make what ever improvements she can on the estate. When my youngest son Robert Lewis arrives at the age of fourteen and at that time I want all estate that there is to be sold to the highest bidder, an equal division to take place among my wife and fifteen children. With the exception of one black boy named Bill, a slave, which I give to my beloved wife during her life of widowhood, at which period of time he is to be sold, and the money to be equally divided among all my children. Never the less, I want the division of the money of the first sale that is when my son Robert Lewis, arrives to the age of fourteen, for my youngest eight children to recieve over and above the equal division such sums as may make them equal with my seven oldest. All my books I leave them all as a family library. Lastly I make or appoint my beloved wife and trusty friend, Samuel Eastess Executrix and Executor of this my last will and testament, here by revoking all former wills made by me.
