Second, It is my wish & I do hereby Loan to my wife Elizabeth Carlisle, the Lot of Land wherein I live containing two Hundred and twenty acres, and five negroes to wit, Mark, Sarah, Patt, Jule & Siller with and during her life time or widow hood for the Express purpose of raising and educating my children that have not left me, and I wish it expressly understood that my wish and meaning is that the above property should be kept together and improved for the above c/purpose untill my Youngest child (Elizabeth) comes of age marries or dies and then for the whole (Except a negro girl named Siller) to be sold and equally divided among or with my wife and my children (to wit) William W. Carlisle, James W. Carlisle, Robin W. Carlisle, Green W.
