    In the name of God Amen: I William Monroe of the County of Marion and state of Indiana, being at this time weak in body but of sound mind and memory do make this my last will and testament. First, it is my desire that all my personal property shall belong to my wife Mary, while she remains my widow, after all my just debts are paid, and if she should marry than she is to have one third of my personal property and the remainder of my personal property to be equally divided among my six children, namely, Hanah, Harriette, George, Louisa, Orilla and Jacob.
