If it be found that I have a legal right to the lands that I
claim on the south side of Black River (400 acres of which land
was surveyed for William Meek, and 200 acres surveyed for John
Lowry), my Executors are to sell said lands. To my Grand
Daughter Jane M. Hewit, all my Estate Real and personal forever,
but if my grand Daughter should contrary to inclination either
marry Elam Cheeseboro Burdick, or Eliphalet Hubbard Burdick, or
Frederick Allin Burdick, in that case my granddaughter shall not
inherit any of my property, but my Estate is then to be sold and
divided as hereafter directed. Should my above named Grand
Daughter die not leaving issue, all my personal estate shall
return to my sister Rachel McConnell, if she be alive at that
time. Should my Grand Daughter die without issue, my Negro woman
named Hetta and her increase should be the property of my Nephew
George McConnell, son of James McConnell. After the death of my
sister Rachel McConnell, all my estate she did possess shall be
equally divided between my three brothers children, viz, James,
Thomas, and Robert, designing Elenor Gotea to draw her Mother's
part. My sister Rachel above named shall live on my plantation
if she choose … My two Negroes named Jack and Flora shall be
permitted to live on my plantation and be plantifully fed and
comfortably clothed during their lives at the expense of my
Estate. My nephew George McConnell son of James McConnell, my
