one hundred and
fifty pounds, of
which said sum I
will and direct the
sum of fifty pound
to be paid to each
of them, as and when
they attain their
respective ages of
twenty one years and
the further sum of
one hundred pounds
to be paid to each
of them within the
space of twelve
calendar months next
after the death or
second marriage of
my dear wife
Milicent, which
shall first happen;
and I direct the
interest of the six
hundred pounds of
the said monies so
given to my said
younger children as
last mentioned, to
be paid or retained
by my said wife in
order to aid and
assist her with such
other provisions as

provided for her and
them, to educate,

their respective
minority; and

of my said son
William his heirs ,
executors,
administrators and
assigns for ever,
and on the happening
of that event, I
then give the legacy

William unto and
equally amongst the
then surviving
younger children of
my family.
As to my household
goods and furniture,
I dispose thereof in
the following
manner; that is to

of her marrying
again, I then give
and dispose of her

furniture unto and
amongst my said
younger children,
share and share
alike.
Provided always and
