1812 Will Interpretation - Cheryl Crowder

I am trying to read a 1812 will and am having trouble interpreting some of
the words.  Could anyone help me with interpretation?

1.    I think it says "kitchen fountain".  Would this be something of value
that someone would leave in a will?
2.    Also, the word "Crap" seems to appear a few times.  (I don't think it
is "crop").  Was this word used around 1812 in a manner other than the slang
and vulgar way used today?
3.    Anyone ever hear of an "iron bound cart?"

Thanks!
