    I give and bequeath one third part or parcel of my estate to William WALKER, Elizabeth WALKER & Susan WALKER my grand children.

    I give and bequeath one third part of my estate to George SIMMONS, Dallas SIMMONS, William SIMMONS and Martha SIMMONS my grand children.

    I give and bequeath one third part of my estate to Gertrude NICHOLSON and Harriet NICHOLSON my grand children.

    And Lastly I do hereby constitute and appoint my trusty friend Caleb W. NICHOLSON my lawful executor to all intents and purposes to execute this my last will and testament according to the full intent and meaning of the same and every part and clause thereof hereby revoking and declaring utterly void all other wills and testaments by me heretofore made.  In witness whereof I the said Lovey TAYLOR do hereunto set my hand and seal this 30^th day of April A.D. 1858.
