After the payments of Debts and funeral expenses I give the balance of my Estate, real and personal of whatever kind it may be to my son Michael Brake to him, and his heirs Executors, administrators and assigns forever that it may not be misunderstood it is not the wish of me, Catherine Brake, that the balance of children shall have any part of my estate, real or personal, as they have not had any trouble in maintaining me since the Death of my husband, Jacob Brake. My son, Michael, has been holy at the expense of nursing me in my last sickness.
