And at his death, I give said slaves to any child or children he may have, at his death. But should he have no children, then I give the said negro slaves above named to the children of my son JOHN H. POND, and my daughter MARY GOODRICH in equal proportions to wit: one half to JOHN H.

And at his death, I give said land to such one of his children as he may name after me or with my name, and should he have none to bear my name, then I give all said land, mill seal , to such other child or children as he may leave at his death. But should leave no child surviving him, then said land is to go to the children of my son JAMES POND and my daughter MARY GOODRICH, to them and their heirs forever.

Before which time Mr. Oiserand Mr. Dunsean, ministers, lived on the said land as belonging to the Church (or as Glebe land) that Indian Cooper gave, & further saith not." (Signum)
