I give to the children of my deceased daughters Ann Conway and JaneWilcox the following property, to wit: slaves Lydda and Eliza, Bennister and Warner, James and Jenny, Ben and a child Liza, meaning to give both slaves by the name of Liza and Eliza in this bequest to the children of my two deceased daughters, and to take this property per stripes and not per capita, that, said property is to be divided into two equal parts and equal moiety and is to be again divided equally between the two sets of children.. I will and direct that all the rest and residue of my property, of every description, real and personal and mixed, meaning all the rest and residue of my estate of every description, be divided into three equal parts, and I devise and bequeath one of such parts to my son John H.
