Wife Elizabeth
Sons:
Benjamin, Gabriel, [Jacob d. at age 12]
Daughters:
Catherine, Susanna, Sarah, Polly, Rebecca, Hannah, Elizabeth, Pheaby
Catherine Susanna & Sarah shall have as much furniture and of the same
quality as what
Polly, Rebecca, Hannah, & Elizabeth have already received furniture
Son Gabrail & dt. Pheaby has already received a part of their share & this
should be deducted by my executors to make it equal with each of my other
daughters.
Benjamin shall also receive an equal share
It is my desire that my daughter Sarah should live with and take care of her
mother
Executors should make comfortable my wife and either one of my daughters who
live with and are taking care of their mother
Henry Snider is guardian of son Benjamin to see that he gets schooling and
trade
Peter Hull late of Lancaster did bequest to my father Isaac the sum of five
pounds.
Whereas my father Isaac Hull empowered me to collect & settle estate
The bequest of 5 pounds has never been collected therefore I appoint my son
Gabrail to collect bequest and when collected return it to my executors
Farm and remaining personal property should be sold by private or public sale
after the death of my wife
