I want the two thirds of my estate that has not been mentioned, to be equally divided among all my children. executrix: my wife.

Probated on Sep 15, 1784 by the executrix and by the oaths of witnesses Samuel Luckett & John Brawner. Witness William Kennedy said the name signed is his handwriting, but does not remember anything about the execution of sd will. The heir at law is a minor & therefore not present when the above probates were taken. Ignatius Luckett, one of the witnesses, is since decd. Ann Brawner, the widow of the decd, quitted her claim to the bequests and devises made to her in the will of her sd husband, and elected, in lieu thereof, her dower or third part of the decd's estate. Before John Muschett, Reg. of Wills.
