160 WINDER v. DIFFENDERFFER.—2 BLAND.
of said three daughters, then in trust to and for all and every of the
child and children of said daughters, their heirs and assigns, as
tenants in common and not as joint tenants; and such child or
children to have the share of its or their parents, to wit: the one-
third part of said last mentioned premises, leaving the two-thirds
to my surviving daughters; and in case of the death of two of them,
then * leaving the one-third to the survivor, the remaining
170 two-thirds vesting in the issue of my deceased daughters,
per stirpes.
" My poultry I give and bequeath to my dear wife. If the bal-
ance of my personal property be not adequate to the payment of
my debts, after which that 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
Catharine Eogers. And it is my will and desire, that my trustees
appropriate the rents and profits of the shares of my said daugh-

his, her, or their share or shares, if more than one, in trust to and
for alt my surviving daughter or daughters; and the issue of any

"When any limitation in this will is made to children or daugh-

my grand, great grandchildren, and so in infinitum. And they are
to take per stirpes, to wit: issue to take any one of my daughter's
share; it being my intention, that no one part or share of my prop-

sisters, as long as children or issue shall represent any of my de-
