the intestate, the other grand children would
have taken per stirpes, as representatives of their
father, and not per capita in their own right;

second son jointly one third, and the remaining
one third jointly among the children of the
third son.
 

If he left a widow, mother, brothers and sisters.

    Then to the widow one half of the residue,
and the other moiety to and among the mother,
brothers and sisters in equal portions.
 

If he left a widow, parents or children.

    Then the brothers, either of the whole blood
or half blood, take all equally; in exclusion of
the grand father, if alive.
 

If he left no widow nor children or their representatives.

    Then the father, living, is entitled to the
whole residue.  But if the mother only survived,
then she takes jointly with the brothers and
sisters of the deceased, and their representatives;
and when there are no brothers and sisters, nor
any representatives of them, alive, then the
mother takes the whole, as next of kin.
