Item, I lend unto my daughter SARAH HARWELL wife of PEYTON HARWELL one Negro boy Bob, one Negro woman Dinah and her increase, one feather bed of furniture, 8 head of cattle, all my earthenware and kitchen furniture and proceeds of the late of my crop and livestock except such of the stock hereafter given away and 8 head of sheep, the aforesaid property to be enjoyed by my said daughter during her natural life and at her death I give the said Negro Bob to my grand daughter FRANCES HARWELL and the said Negro Dinah and other property to be equally divided among all her living children at her death and in case of the death of my said grandaughter FRANCES HARWELL if that should happen before she arrives to lawful age or marriage, I give the said Bob to be equally divided as before directed among all the brothers and sisters of said FRANCES HARWELL, to them and their heirs forever.
