Hodges, Martha Hodges, Nancy Brown, Chloe Keen, & Mariam Hodges And also I wish them to have the remainder of my land which is not left to my wife to be equally divided between them, and the better to enable them to divide I authorize and empower them any five agreeing thereto to make sale thereof altogether or in parts as may best suit and to make a good sufficient tittle or tittles thereto provide each one of the above named Children bind themselves to the sum of five dollars each annually to my wife for better support and mentinance of her the Said Elizabeth and further before they take possession of the land they are to build necessary and comfortable houses for the Said Elizabeth on the said seventy five acre tract and as soon as they comply with these requisitions they are to take full possession as above stated and not before. I also wish my wife Elizabeth Hodges to have one year's support out of the Crop and Stock that I may be possessed of at my death. Fourthly at the death of my wife I wish my grandson William A. Edwards to have an equal portion of the Stock which she may then possess with said of my other children --that is as much as they draw when they first divide Also I wish to have the 75 acre tract of land as assigned to her I also wish the land laid off for his benefit above the new Cross fence and all the negroes and such other property as she may have sold on a twelve month's credit and the money arising from said sale to be divided as follows Martha Hodges one hundred dollars Holly Hodges one hundred and fifty dollars Nancy Brown one dollar Cloe Keen one hundred and fifty dollars – Chrisly Hodges one hundred and fifty dollars Asa W.

Edwards lives with my wife or under the control of My Executors, but if he is disobedient and refuses to be governed and advised by them then I wish him cut of with one dollar, and, his part equally divided among all the rest. It is however understood that the money arising from the sale of the land last mentioned is not under any circumstance any part of it to go to the said Wm A. Edward the 75 acres being a fair portion of the land for him.
