and then for her to divide all that property equally between Polly Wilson, Benjamin and Isham, a son of my daughter Clary‘s to have his part equal to the other three,

and there is William and Agathe and Jonathan shall have five shillings each.

Whereof I have hereunto subscribed my hand and caused my seal to be affixed. This 10th day of April, 1820.
