"In the name of God, Amen. I Lenora Callister als Radcliffe of Peeltown widow being now in declining years yet in a moderate state of health and of sound and perfect mind and memory (blessed be God), and considering the uncertainty of this mortal life, do therefore in order of settling my worldly goods and effects make this my last will and testament as in manner following: First, committing my soul to almighty God and my body to Christian burial. Item, I leave and bequeath unto my son in law Agnes McMunn and his wife the one half of that meadow land belonging to me which was purchased of Wm Davison [or Danson or Dawson] with one half of the brow thereto adjoining, and whatever encumbrance or mortgage he hath already on the said meadow land, the same is to be wholly chargeable on that half of the said meadow land left and bequeathed unto my said son in law and his wife aforesaid. Item, I do leave and bequeath unto my daughter Cathrine Callister the other half of the said meadow land and brow thereto adjoining together with all that part or parcel of arable land above the said brow and which adjoins to the same. Also I leave unto my said daughter my part or moiety of the same little house and garden that her father John Callister bequeathed his part or moiety of the same unto her, also free and debtless. Item, I leave and bequeath unto my daughter in law Ellinor Callister als Cowill and to her children all my part of that field purchased of Wm. Mylevorrey commonly called Sandy’s Croft viz. the one half of my part thereof unto her the said Ellinor Callister, and the other half of my part thereof unto her children equally between them, and the same they are to have in lieu of that four pounds I gave my bond or note for the same unto my son Silvester Callister deceased. Item, I leave to my son in law Caesar Wattleworth and his wife the one half of my brewing pan, and the other half thereof I leave unto my daughter Cathrine Callister. I leave unto my son Samuel Callister a shilling British. Lastly, I do nominate and appoint my said daughter Cathrine Callister to be whole and sole executrix of all the rest of my goods and effects moveable and immovable of what nature or denomination soever.
