      "Item, My will is that my Plantation shall be devided by a line to begin at a corner stone standing at the end of the Lower Meadow by water Course, so up the fence to the Ditch and from thence straight up the Meadow to a white oak and sassafrax standing near the Ditch and from thence across the Meadow to where the water Course comes out of the field and from thence up the fence to the upper end of the Meadow, from thence along the road to a spanish oak standing near the Spring house and from thence up by the west end of the Little orchard to the line between me and cousin Joseph Maris.
      Item, I give and bequeath the west end of the Land that hath on Bulidings unto my son Isaac Maris his heirs and assigns forever.
      Item, I give and Bequeath to my son Jehu Maris the other end of the plantation, next to Darby Creek with all the Buildings and Improvements to him his heirs and assigns forever, he allowing his Mother Privilege of two rooms in the house, the Lower Room next the orchard, and the upper Room at the right hand of the head of the stairs, and the privilege of the Kitchen, Cellar, and Oven and Draw well and Spring house for her necessary use, and ground for a garden Before the Door and apples for her use out of theorchard and to keep her one horse and one cow winter and summer and cut fire wood and Bring unto the house for her as much as is necessary for her use and privilege," &c.
