Hill and wife containing eighty-five acres her natural life and at her death to go to my legal heirs, also two mares, two horses, wagon, harness, etc. The remainder I wish divided between my ten children and the heirs of my son P.

My son P. A. C. Mayhew at his death was indebted to my son W. C. Mayhew for four hundred dollars for which sum he requested W. C. to take out of his part of my estate.

Mayhew, deceased, Elizabeth Wade, Taylor Mayhew, William C. Mayhew, J........... Taylor, Sidney Kennedy, J. P. Mayhew, Texas Mayhew and Nancy Mayhew. I appoint my three sons G. W.
