burial to be interred by and close to the grave of our late worthy uncle Revd Philip 	
Moore six feet deep to contain us both when please God it may be wanted.

I leave to our daughter Elizabeth all my wearing apparel of every 
kind useful and ornamental and after the demise of the survivor of us, she may be 
sole Executrix of all that we possess hoping our dear sons will have no objection 
she having spent the prime of life in the care of us, her aged parents who did not 
place her in a way to get a livelihood for herself or any other way provide for and 
the little we have not worth dividing except such books as my dear sons Edward and 
James shall chose for the education of my Grandsons.
