I Daniel Walker do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament -

I will that all my just debts be paid out of my estate.

2nd Item
I will that all my property be sold. Lands, Negroes, Town Lots and the stock of every description and the money arising from said sale be put to interest by my Executrix or Executors - unless my beloved wife Martha Walker wishes to keep any part of said land lots, buildings, Negroes or stock or household or kitchen furniture for the benefit of herself and children then she is to have the exclusive privilege of doing so during her life time or widowhood and my beloved wife Martha Walker is to have the privilege of buying or selling any property at any time which property shall be purchased out of the money belonging to herself and children but when she marries or dies then such property as may be purchased by her for the benefit of herself and children or such as she may select out of my estate shall be sold and the proceeds divided according to the Will.

3rd Item
I will to my beloved wife Martha Walker (after my just debts are paid) the one third part of all my estate which one third part is to be at her entire control and for her own benefit in fee simple.

4th Item
I will that each child shall receive its proportional share of the estate as they shall become of age.

5th Item
I will that my children be raised, clothed, boarded, and schooled with a good common English education out of the money belonging to said child, and the expenses of the minor children to be general and not separate - unless my wife Martha Walker should marry or die, then in that case my will is that the estate belonging to the children be equally divided among all my minor children who have not received their share of the estate but if any should die and have a living child or children said child or children (as the case may be) shall inherit their Father's or Mother's part of the estate.

6th Item
I will that my Executors shall not be accountable for lost debts by loaning money when it shall appear reasonable that they acted for the best.

9th Item
I will that my Executors make a return only of such Notes and open accounts as may in their judgment be collectible - but if any money shall be collected out of such notes and accounts as are not returned, then the Executors shall return the same.
