I direct my trustee or trustees for the time being to invest within twelve months after my decease upon Government Security the sum of two hundred and fifty pounds and pay the annual Interest Dividends and Proceeds arising from the sum in and towards the maintenance education and support of my natural Daughter Susannah Jones the Daughter of Mary Gwilliam the present wife of George Gwilliam until she shall attain the age of twenty one years. And when the said Susannah Jones shall have attained the said age of twenty one years I direct my Trustees or trustee for the time being to call upon the said sum of two hundred and fifty pounds and pay One Hundred pounds thereof to the said Susannah Jones and distribute the remaining sum of One Hundred and fifty pounds in the manner and in such proportions as is hereinafter provided and directed for the distribution of the other portion of the Residue of my Real and personal Estate. But if the said Susannah Jones should not live to attain the said age of twenty one years I then direct my Trustees or Trustee for the time being immediately after her decease to call up the said sum of two hundred and fifty pounds and pay one hundred pounds thereof to her said Mother Mary Gwilliam and to distribute the remaining sum of one hundred and fifty pounds in the manner and in such proportions as is hereinafter provided and directed for the distribution of the other portion of the Residue of my Real and personal Estate. But if the said Mary Gwilliam should not live to become entitled as has been before provided and directed then the said sum of One hundred pounds I direct my Trustees or Trustee for the time being immediately after the decease of the said Susannah Jones [sic] if she should die before she should have attained the said age of twenty one years to call up and distribute the whole of the said sum of two hundred and fifty pounds in the manner and in such proportions as is hereinafter provided and directed for the distribution of the other portion of the Residue of my Real and personal Estate. And also in consideration that a long interval will elapse between the period of my decease and the receipt of any Interest Dividends or proceeds accruing upon the investment of the said sum of Two hundred and fifty pounds I further direct my Trustees or Trustee for the time being to appropriate out of my personal Estate an additional sum of Eight pounds towards the maintenance education and support of the said Susannah Jones during the interval that will elapse between the period of my decease and the receipt of any Interest Dividends or proceeds accruing out of the Investment of the said sum of Two hundred and fifty pounds.
