This I give to him because of the trouble he has been heretofore put to and may hereafter be put to in managing my estate. I design he shall have in addition the usual compensation for attending to my estate as my executor..

      For fear of misunderstanding, it is expressly my will that I do not mean to dispose of in this will any of the property or land heretofore given and deeded to my children, nor do I mean to dispose in this will for division the additional land I give to my son Timothy H. Stamps, a piece of land of about 120 acres that I have given him no deed to, this last parcel of land I give to my son Timothy Stamps before my estate is to be divided into three parcels as first aforesaid.
