All the residue of my estate both real and personal not heretofore mentioned, and the debts and legacies being first paid, which legacies if not sufficient without, are to come out of the sale of my land and all the estate heretofore mentioned to my wife at her death, I give and bequeath to be equally divided among my children in the manner as mentioned in the foregoing clause, one twelfth part thereof to be applied to the benefit and support of my daughter Mary Reno as mentioned in said clause, provided, nevertheless, that there is excepted out of the clause so much as shall hereafter be bequeathed to my son Christopher Chinn, All of which I give to them and their heirs and assigns forever.
