The case, if I understand it aright, is this; -

A father, (Whom we will call F), desirous to provide for his
marrd daughter (L), the wife of say H, contracted in Conjunction with H, to buy a
tract of land for her, for the price of $7000, of which F paid $6000, & H executed
his bond for $1000, which however has never been paid. Thereupon the Ven-
dor, without objection from H, conveyed the land to F, who by his will after-
wards devised {the} it to Trustees in fee simple, in trust for his daughter L, directing that they
shd sent it"

"to such persons, and for such crops as they may deem not to secure to
my daughter L, and her family, food, clothing, & all the comforts of life, suita-
ble to their condition & circumstances in life;" {and further providing}

and further providing, that

"after paying the current expenses incident to said trust—estate,
and the support & maintenance of my daughter L, and her family, the
balance to be turned over and delivered to said daughter L, at the end
of each and every year, and his receipt therefor to be a good dis-
charge for said trustees."

The will further provides as follows:

"It is my will, & I to direct, that any other money or property to wh
my sd daughter L may be entitled in the distribution of my estate (after
death), be delivered to said trustees to be by them invested in some safe
property, stocks, or bonds, or loaned on good & sufficient security as
they may deem [but?], & the income arising therefrom to be appropriated
as is herein provided for the income of the plantation.

"In case of the death of my said daughter L, without child or
children, or their descendants surviving her, that all money and
property other than the land aforesaid, which she may have received
from my estate, shall revert to my executors to be by them distributed
amongst her brothers and sisters, and next of kin, ascending to the pro-
vision of this my will."

Those in one child of the marriage, a boy of 8 years old,
who was born before the making of F's will.
