CONNER VS. OGLE. 435
equally divided among his two sons, and appoints his said wife
his executrix, to whom letters testamentary on his personal es-
tate were duly granted.
On the 7th of October, 1844, James T., Henrietta M. and
Benjamin O. Conner, and Thomas E, D. Poole as administra-
tor of the deceased children, Emma and Harriet Conner, filed

Mary, no part of the same having ever been expended in the
