Fifthly: My Will and desire is that the two notes of hand that I have on my
son-in-law John Perry should be given up to him without his paying anything for
them One for One hundred and seventy-one dollars given in April 4th 1817 and the

bequeath to by daughter Charity Perry all my clothing and all my house hold
furniture of every description that is not heretofore named. Seventhly: I give
