On the death of the widow the land to be divided between Alexander and Robert; in case of 'any difficulty with the boundary where my daughter Nancy now lives ... my son Archy is to mark the line.' Archebald is to have all interest and right in my survey in the Western District; he to pay his mother $80 one year after the testator's death. All other property at the death of the widow to be divided between three daughters, Nancy Campbell, Peggy Campbell and Sally Slone. Executors: Archabald and Robert Slone.
