Her will was as follows:
"Believing that my last days on earth are drawing near, that I shall soon fall asleep in this word and by the mercy of God, my eyes be opened in a far more beautiful and happier life, and that my dear husband should he survive will have ample means and not need the little property that I have been enabled from time to time to collect I therefore with his consent do this day June 4th 1870 make the following disposition of said property.
Firstly I desire that my children may not be charged with any money furniture or silver that I have given them.
Secondly that my sons George and J. Foster Anderson will act as my executors and receive the usual amount for their services. I desire that lot of ground on Broadway and the lot of ground on Portland Avenue to be sold off as soon as convenient and the money therefrom invested in interest bearing stocks also my notes or money may be in my possession at the time of my death. I desire the interest on said stocks and all other stocks that I possess to be divided as they become due and paid one share to each of my six children and one share to each of my grandchildren or their guardians for their use. Also if my daughter Mary R. Letcher at the time of my death has no child she shall be entitled to two additional shares of said interest until she
has a child and whilst she has only one child she shall have one additional share of said interest as this property if divided would be too small to be of use to my hairs in their businesses. I therefore desire said property to remain in stocks undivided until the year 1880. I hope my children and grandchildren will approve of this arrangement and that they will receive the limited income as a small annual present from their affectionate parent
