If there shall be no intestate personal estate or not sufficient to make up such deficiency the devisees and legatees, taking under the will of the deceased parent, shall proportionately contribute such sum or sums of money as, added to the intestate estate, will be sufficient to raise the portion of such after-born child or children.Code 1852, § 1662; Code 1915, § 3259; Code 1935, § 3723; 12 Del.
