As to the effect of the word "elsewhere" in the case of lands not purchased at the time of making the will, see 3 Atk. 254; 2 Ventr. 351. The words "or elsewhere" have been held not to include lands in another state; Atkinson v. Schilman, 60 Fla. 39, 53 South. 844, 56 South. 274. As to the construction of the words "or elsewhere" in shipping articles, see Brown v. Jones, 2 Gall. 477, Fed. Cas. No. 2,017.
