Book Description
Excerpt from Reports of Cases Argued and Determined in the Court of Chancery, the Prerogative Court, And, on Appeal, in the Court of Errors and Appeals of the State of New Jersey, Vol. 11 He next bequeathed to his executors and the survivors and survivor of them, in trust for the use of his son James, who, however, subsequently died in the lifetime of the testator. All the rest and residue of his estate, real and personal, wherever it might be situated, and of whatever it might consist, he gave and devised unto his executors and 'the survivors and survivor of them, in trust nevertheless, for the use of his children, John Potter, William Hubley Potter, Elizabeth Potter, (now Ashhurst, ) Alice Potter, (now Lip pincott, ) and James Potter, to be equally divided between them, share and share alike; the shares of his sons to be paid to them respectively, as they should attain the age of twenty one years, the interest, in the meantime, or so much thereof as might be necessary for the purpose, to be applied by his executors to the education and support of his sons; but in the case of his daughters, the interest of their respective shares was to be paid to them yearly during their lives, and in case they should marry, it was not to be under the control or liable for the debts of their husbands and on the death of his daughters, their respective shares were to be equally divided among their children, but if either of them should die without issue, her share was to go to her surviving brothers and sister, equally to be divided between them. And he thereby gave to his executors and the survivors and survivor of them, full power and authority to sell and convey in fee simple the whole or any portion of his real estate not therein specifically devised, and also to sell and dispose of any part of his personal estate, whenever in their judgment it might be advisable to do so, and the proceeds of all such sales to invest from time to time in bonds and mortgages or in productive stocks, as they might deem best for the interests of his estate. He appointed his brother, James Potter, and Robert F. Stockton and Richard S. Field, executors. He died in 1853. All of the executors proved the will, but soon after, Decem ber 2d, 1859, all of them, except Mr. Field, ceased to act, and, subsequently, their death left him sole surviving executor.
