5th, as I have in contemplation, to build a new mill upon my lands called the Dobbs place, and which land is bequeathed to my son Houston Sewell, it is my wish and desire that should the same not be built or completed before my death, that my Executors have the same built or completed as contemplated by me, and the said mill and appurtenances shall and I give and bequeath the same to my son Houston Sewell, and his heirs, with the lands upon which it is to be built, as heretofore bequeathed to him. But my wife, Ann Jane Sewell, shall have the same right to the enjoyment of the use and rents and profits, and for the same length of time as she has heretofore given her in my other lands bequeathed by me, but no more and no longer, building or completing said mill, as in their discretion, will be least injurious and most beneficial to my estate, and shall have the right to use all such parts or materials of the old mill now standing as may be useful in the new mill.
