           With the exception of certain Stocks and Funds which by an

        husband Joseph Brooker and myself were settled for the benefit of our
        children and for that of Elizabeth Brooker, his daughter by his first
        wife, I give all my estate to be divided equally among the said
        Elizabeth Brooker and my children Joseph Chapman Brooker, Samuel, Mary,
        Amy and Jane Brooker. In case any should die in my lifetime without

        to be divided equally among such children at age 21.
           I appoint my sons Joseph Chapman Brooker and Samuel Brooker
        as my Executors.
