Trying to Transcribe - Will of John Parker - Pt 2

On this section of the will of John Parker my 5th gt-grandfather, you can see that it was dated the 4^th day of the 10^th month 1800, which would be 4 Oct 1800. I found it a little amusing that most of the family trees I found on-line at Ancestry.com give his death date as 10 Apr 1800. That would make him dying almost 6 months before he wrote his will. Then it was not probated until February of 1803. I suspect his death really occurred early in 1803.

In this section he names his 5 children, including my ancestor, Peninah Nicholson.

Item. I give and bequeath to my Daughter Sarah Parker and her Heirs &

assigns for every, Fifty acres of Land, joining the part which I have by deed

I give the said Land unto my Grandson Noah Parker son of my Son

John Parker to him his heirs & assigns for ever.---
