I will and bequeath to my daughter Clarissa Mira McDowell two hundred dollars in cash, a good riding horse and bridle and a good bed and bed clothing. I will and bequeath to my daughter Elizabeth Porter a good bed and bed clothing.

My will and desire is that all property I possess exclusive of the above legacies should be equally divided among all of those children now living. I include all lands and real estate to which I have a right.
