And likewise as for my younger son, Archelius Melton, I dispose and make over the two parts of my stock and household goods, divided into three parts and the other one part to be divided between the other three with the plantation
And likewise I constitute, make, and ordain my son, Nathan Melton, my only and sole executor of this my last Will and Testament of all and singular the lands, messuages, and tenements by him and therefore mentioned freely to be possessed and enjoyed by them, their heirs, and assigns for ever and I do hereby utterly disallow, revoke, and disannul all and every other former Will legacys and Executions by me in any way made before this time; named, willed, bequeathed, ratified and confirmed this and no other to be my last Will and testament.
