in the issue of my deceased daughters, per stirpes.
*My poultry I give and bequeath to my dear wife. If the
balance of my personal property be not adequate to the payment of
my debts, after that which has been specifically devised to my dear
wife, I hereby charge the payment of my debts on the property
devised to my three daughters, Sarah Bailey, Ann Martin, and
Mary Lee; and not on that devised or bequeathed to my daughter
Catherine Rogers. And it is my will and desire, that my trustees
