will and testament. First I will that all of my just debts be paid if 
there be any, after which I will to my wife Nancy G. Pool my entire 
estate both real and personal during her life or widowhood, and after 
her death or marriage, I will that my property be divided between my 
children as follows Viz. that my daughters Sallie B. Sanford, Rebecca 
J. Pool and Mary A. Gawdon(sic) have twenty five dollars each, in 
money, and if there should not be enough money for that purpose it must

remainder, I will that such remainder be equally divided between all of 
my children Viz, James S. Pool, William L. Pool, Stephen Pool, John A.
