It
is my wish that all my single daughters may known that they have always a home in the house where they were brought up.

I also give and bequeath to my son Levi liberty to place his house on any part of my property surveyed to be held by him only
while the house remains, and if the said house be removed the land then is to revert to the property of my widow and sons. I desire that all my sons shall work together and to use all the gear together, but providing my son Levi wishes to work by and for himself then I desire that my son Levi receive one-third of all gear and boats.
I give and bequeath to each of my daughters on their marriage two sheep. I further charge my widow and sons on no account to sell any of the landed property. Should my widow marry again, then she has no part nor claim on this my estate.
