Fourthly. This my will and device that my executors should collect all debts due one as soon as the law will allow, and that the proceeds of such collections be applied toward the discharge of all ....debts due from my to individuals, and if the debts due to me should not prove sufficient to such the sums of money which I may owe, this my will that my Executors should discharge the balance of debts due and owing by me, out of the proceeds of my Crop, stocks of Horses and Cattle and plantation utensils, and if those should not prove sufficient, my Executors and required to dispose of ones or more of the negroes (Randal excepted) herein before devised and bequeathed to my daughters Lucinda in such manner as they may think most advisable, to most all just demands.
Fifthly. The two suits of mourning herein before bequeathed to my two be paid for by me Executors out of the proceeds of Sales of my personal Estate so that the sum of money to be raised by such sales shall be sufficient to purchase the two suits of mourning beside paying my just debts.
