I will that my just debts and funeral charges be paid as soon as may be after my decease by my Executor herein after named.

I give, devise and bequeath to my loving wife the income of one half of the hundred acres of land I live on, my part of the Grist Mill, with the Privilege of one half of my dwelling house, cellar and barn during her natural life and I likewise give her for her own disposal, all my household goods and furniture and my stock of Cattle, Sheep, Horses, and swine and all my provisions of corn, grain, beef, pork &c.

I give, devise and bequeath to my daughter Mary Page (over what I have already given to her) Ninety pound lawful money to be paid by my Executor within five years after my decease.

And the rest and residue of my Estate real and personal not already disposed of after my just debts, funeral charges and legacies are paid, I give, devise and bequeath to my son Michael McClary Esq., his heirs and assigns forever; and do constitute and appoint my son Michael, Executor to this my last Will and Testament - and I hereby revoke all former Wills by me made, and ratify and confirm this to be my last Will & Testament; In witness whereof I so hereunto set my hand and seal this nineteenth day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety two.
