2nd: For the love and affection of my son, Davis Wyatt, I do will and bequeath to him or to his legal heirs, one dollar ($1.00) and one red cow, supposed to be ten years old, which he has in his possession and has had for some five or six years.

4th: For the love and affection of my daughter, Mary Elizabeth Wyatt, I do will and bequeath to him or to his legal heirs, one dollar ($1.00) and one feather bed with such bed clothing as there is, and for my wife Sarah Ann Wyatt to use the same until my daughter arrives at the age of eighteen years old, or until she marries, if she should marry before she arrives to the age of eighteen years.
