I give my son John ABERNATHY twenty five pounds per year during my residence with him for my board and clothing. If there is not money sufficient at my death to pay John ABERNATHY above mentioned then my desire is that he shall sell my land pay himself in full the balance that may be due him for my board and clothing and my desire is that my executor divide the residue of my estate between my children (except Charles ABERNATHY, the heirs of Ann HARWELL, and the heirs of Jenny DAVIS, which I shall hereafter mention). I then give and bequeath one proportion to my son Frederick ABERNATHY, to him and heirs forever. Also to John ABERNATHY, to him and his heirs forever. To Robert ABERNATHY, to him and his heirs forever. To Buckner ABERNATHY, to him and his heirs forever. To Joshua ABERNATHY, to him and his heirs forever. To Smith ABERNATHY, to him and heirs forever.
