The meaning of "Legitimate Issue" as used in this Last Will and Testament shall be limited to a child or children born to a female descendent of Testatrix regardless of whether the mother is married to the father of such a child or children, and shall be limited to a child or children born to a male descendent of Testatrix where the father of such child or children is married to the the mother either before or after the birth of the child or children.
