Estate to be equally devided amongst all my children, except SOLOMON O'NEAL, my 
son. I give him nothing, as he has been otherwise provided for. And my son 
JOSEPH O'NEAL, I give him an equal share with the rest of my children of the 
tract of land I live on and my personal estate, but any of my other lands I give 
him no part. I give my two sons DAVID and SAMUEL O'NEAL fifty dollars more than 
any of my other children (each one of them) as they have continued to live with 
me. I desire my Executors hereafter mentioned to sell all my Real Estate to the
