Item I give to my son James, after my wife's decease the land and plantation whereon I now live, lying above the line aforesaid, and also my negro woman Aggy to him and his heirs forever. And all the rest of my estate be it of what nature or kind soever that shall be remaining after my wife's decease, I desire should be equally divided amongst my children hereafter named to wit. James, Mary, and Dicy.

Lastly I appoint John Alloway Strange, and William Payne Executors of this my last Will and Testament revoking all wills by me before made.
