He enjoins the said Nancy and John from building such protection to their said lands along the Scioto river as will throw the current of the river against the lands of the home farm which would damage the same and he requests that the channel of the river be kept as near as possible where the same now is.
As to his money, credits, and all personal property, he requests that the same pass into the hands of his executors whom he desires to sell all personal property according to their own best judgement, the proceeds to be divided as follows: To his son William, he gives $500 and the same sum to his daughter Nancy and the balance to be divided equally between four sons, William, Allan, Henry and Charles.

Two sons, William and Allan, are appointed sole executors of the will and in case they should disagree in regard to anything connected with the settling up the estate, the deceased selects his friend Robert D. Welty, to settle the same between them and his decision to be final as to the matter in dispute, should any arise.
