Twenty shares in the Suffolk Manufacturing Company.
Twenty shares in the Massachusetts Cotton Mills.

My wishes in regard to the particular institutions or objects to which
the aforesaid manufacturing stocks are to be applied, and also the
time and mode of the application thereof, I intend to make known to
my executors; and I feel sure that they will strictly comply with the
same; and, in default of any such directions from me, I have
confidence in their making such a disposition and distribution of said
property as they will think would be most likely to meet my
approbation.

[Sidenote: Powers of sale, &c.]

[Sidenote: Estate to be settled in 2 years.]

I hereby fully authorize and empower and direct my executors
hereinafter named, or such of them as shall accept the trust, the
survivors or survivor of them, or any administrator on my estate, to
sell and convey at public auction, or by private sale, at such times
and on such conditions as they shall judge best, any and all estate
and property, real, personal, and mixed, of which I may die seized or
possessed, saving and excepting only such as herein is specifically
given to my beloved wife; and likewise the said land and house devised
to my beloved wife, in case she shall elect not to take the same; and
to make and deliver good and sufficient conveyances and transfers
thereof; the purchasers to be in nowise bound to see to the
appropriation of the purchase-money: it being my wish that my estate
should be settled as soon as convenient after my decease, and, if
practicable, within two years thereafter.

[Sidenote: Residue to his nephews, nieces, &c. in sums
corresponding to their specific bequests respectively.]

If, after the conversion of the residue of my estate into money, and
the payment of all my debts, and the distribution and payment of all
the bequests in this my Will, contained in accordance with the
foregoing dispositions, any residue should remain, it is my will that
the amount of said residue be distributed among the children and
grandchildren of my brother Isaac Appleton, and among the children of
my late brother Doctor Moses Appleton, and among the children of my
deceased brother Eben Appleton, and among the children of my brother
Nathan Appleton, and among the children of my sister Mary Barrett, and
