In the name of God Amen.

And my personal property I bequeath to the rest of my children, namely, Danl Slippy of the State of Ohio, Abram Slippy, Peter Slippy, Isaac Slippy, and Elizabeth Clossen, formerly Elizabeth Slippy and now widow of Alxr Clossen decd, the sum of Five hundred dollars each to be paid as soon as it may be practicable for my said Executors to do so after my decease, the sumes for which I hold the releases of Daniel Slippy, Peter Slippy, Abram Slippy and Elizabeth Clossen, to be deducted out of their respective Five hundred dollars bequeathed to them, but should there be any overplus of my estate after paying the above mentioned bequests, such over plus to be equally divided among my children Danl Slippy, Peter Slippy, Abram Slippy, Isaac Slippy, Elizabeth Clossen, and Catherine Clapper, and should there be any deficiency in making up the said bequests, each heir to lose an equal proportion, And should I become chargeable in my old days to any one of my children in particular such child to be fully paid for their trouble, out of my estate. I order and direct that my personal property be sold by my executors, as soon after my decease as may be practicable, but should my children, or a majority of them, agree do divide my personal property among them, my will is that no sale be made thereof.
And lastly, I constitute and appoint my son Isaac Slippy and my son-in-law Henry Clapper Executors of this my last will and testament.
