    If my said son John should happen to die without issue I do hereby give and devise the said estates to and equally amongst my three nephews and niece, John Newall, Thomas Newall, James Newall and Sarah Bramley, their respective Tenants in Common but not as joint tenants, if any of my above named nephews or niece should die to go equally amongst their children.
    
    I further order and direct that if my said son John should die without issue I hereby devise one half part or moiety of the said estate at Langbar to the three daughters of my cousin Major Brigg, deceased, on their payment of the original purchase money of four hundred pounds unto and equally amongst the said John Newall, Thomas Newall, James Newall and Sarah Bramley or their respective executors and administrators.
    
    And I do hereby nominate and appoint my said son John Pettyt my whole Executor of this my Will hereby revoking all former and other Wills by me made. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal in the year of our Lord one thousand and eight hundred and five.
