three daughters, Leila T. Earle, wife of Baylis J. Earle, Mary
H. McRae, wife of Thomas J. McRae, and Susan B. Von
Luthchan wife of Barron H. Von Luthchan, and to their
heirs forever; but should either of my said daughters

said husband become the property of the remaining
daughters or daughters and her or their heirs.
3rd  I hereby devise, give and bequeath, to go into effect at my
death, unto my beloved aforesaid daughter Lula T. Earle wife

of land lying in Chester County, South Carolina, which I
received from my father Dr. William Cloud, and which
was formerly a portion of his estate.
4th  I hereby request my beloved sister Eunice Cloud, that in
consideration of the fact of my giving my South Carolina
place to my daughter Lula aforesaid, thereby making her
portion more than that of her Sisters, that if she be
minded to give my daughter any thing at her death, she
will give the same to my daughters Mary and Susan

is now probably in possession of my said sister Eunice
