The 2 sons were also requested and jointly responsible for the support of their mother. It was written that In the event of their mother not deeming such support sufficient, a disagreement arising between them or their mother's desire to leave and go elsewhere. A provision of 20 pounds per annum was to be paid in equal sums of ten pounds each from John and William David to be paid to their mother.

It was written that William Wilson's desire was the son who married first was to inherit Blacks house and Farm and a portion of William Wilson's father's farm, adjoining farm of the late William Smith..
