Newfoundland Planter being weak in body but of sound and disposing mind
memory and understanding do make and constitute this my last will and

fourth be given to my son Solomon his heirs and assigns for ever. The
adjoining fourth I give and bequeath to my son Thomas his heirs and
assigns for ever. The third portion (or fourth) I give to my son Aaron his
heirs and assigns for ever and the remaining or eastern fourth I give to

my property whether real or personal I leave to Solomon and Thomas to be
equally divided. And I hereby appoint my trusty friend Mr. Arnold Webber
sole executor to this my last will and I hereby revoke and annul all
former wills and testaments by me made and do constitute this my last will
