That is to say, principally and first I give and recommend my soule into the hand of the Almighty Cod, who gave it, and my body to the Earth to be buried in a decent Christian burial at the discretion of my Executor, nothing doubting but at the resurrection I shall revive the same again by the mighty power of God. And as touching my worldly estate wherewith it has pleased God to bless me in this Life:
I give, demise and dispose of the same in the following manner
First, I give and bequeath unto Martha my well beloved wife the improvement of one third part of all my improved lands and buildings, and sufficient quantity of timber to be taken off my unimproved land for the support of necessary Firs in such parts of my house as they shall occupy and for the repairing of the above said part of the building and fences. Also the use of two cows and the use of a horse when desired. The above to be given her during the term of her natural life.

And I do hereby utterly disallow revoke, disanul all and every other dormer Will and testament Legacy bequeaths and [a crease in the paper makes illegible] and confirming this and no other to be my last will and testament.
Witness whereas I have hereunto set my hand and seal this fifteenth day of April in the year of our Lord one thousand Eight hundred and five.
Signed sealed and published pronounced and delivered by the said Jacob Farr as his last Will and Testament in presence of us who in his presence
and in the presence of each other have thereunto set our names.
