Sealed with our seals dated the 25th of April Anno Domino 1813. Whereas the said James Driver in and by his last Will and Testament made the 24th of March 1808 after sundry other bequests did bequeath an equal division to us of his Estate with the rest of his children after his widows part was deducted after the payment of his debts and other consequent expenses and charges. Now the condition of this obligation is such that if any part of said money should appear to be wanting to pay any debt or debts, legacy or legacies which the said Executors shall not have other assets to pay, and if in such case the said Isaiah & Ezekiel Driver shall return the said legacys or dividends or such or so much as shall be necessary to pay their proportionable part thereof, then the above obligaton shall be sold and of none affect otherwise remain in full force and virtue.
