I give to my son Ebenezer Rockwell 33 acres of that piece of land on which I now dwell, with the buildings thereon standing, reserving the use of the northern lower room or parlour for my daughter Anne Rockwell, which I give to her for her use so long as she remains unmarried. I give to my son Joel Rockwell all my land lying in the Township of Cornwell already laid out, also all my right, interest, share and part to and in the undivided land not yet laid out in sd.
