And the balance of the stock together with the farming utensils are all to be exposed to publick sale and the price of them to be equally divided among my wife and all my children each of them an equal share and the shares of those that are under age to be put out on interest untill they come of age and then my Executors to pay such of them their several shares and the interest of their money to be appropriated to the use of schooling those of them who need of schooling- and as to what money there may be now in hand or debts that is coming to the Estate I allow that in the first place all my lawful debts be paid and if there be a surplus let it be equally divided and the same manner as the sale money above mentioned. And it is my will that my friend ABEL WILLY and my son JOHN MARTIN be sole Executors of this my last will and testament
And I do hereby revoke disallow and make void all former wills testaments or divises that might have heretofore been made by me and do ordain complete "ratise" and confirm this and one another to be my last will and testament.
