his plantation and everything
to his wife and to be sold and divided upon her death
and distributed evenly among
his children. He wrote a codicil on 28 Feb 1805 to
ensure his grandchildren from
any deceased child would inherit their parent's share.

children in his will which was filed on 1 Aug 1817.
