The share divised to my daughter Mary Susan Dawson, she is to have and hold for her own use for and during her life. To have a life estate only therein and at her death if she leaves surviving any children to pass to such children equally and if any of them shall die before they are twenty one years of age childless then to the survivors and if they all shall die leaving no descendants then said property devided to them to return and vest equally to my said two sons if then alive or to their descendants if they or either of them be dead. I hereby make and constitute my said sons W. T. and James D. Warner as my Executors who may qualify as such without giving security and having confidence that they will act justly in settleing up my estate they are not to be required to return to the court any inventory or appraisement of the property that may come to their hands nor are they to make any settlement of their accounts with the Courts as other financiaries are required by law.
