testament. That is to say principally and first of all, I give and comment my soul into the hands of Almighty God
that gave it, and my body I recommend to the earth to be buried in a decent Christian burial at the discretion of my
executors, nothing doubting but at the gospel resurrection I shall rise in the same again by the mighty power of God,
and as to my just worldly estate wherewith it has pleased God to bless me with in this life I give, devise, and dispose
in the following manner and form. First, I give and bequeath to my dearly beloved sons, Henry Goldman and John Goldman,
my plantation to be divided between them equally, but with two conditions-Henry Goldman is to enjoy the lower part

of them in the articles of Christianity and I do hereby charge my executors to take a particular care of them
