Will of John Boyd Last Will and Testament of I John Boyd of St. John's Newfoundland Gentleman
being of sound mind and remembering the frailty and uncertainty of human life
do make this my last will and Testament revoking all and every other which
at any time heretofore I may have made. That is to say:- I give and bequeath
to my executors hereinafter named, and their heirs all my estate real and personal
of whatever nature or kind soever in trust after payment of my debts and any
specific legacies, to pay to my wife Mary Boyd during her widowhood and her
attachment to the Protestant faith a yearly annuity of fifty pounds currency
payable half yearly out of the rents and profits of my said estate, or if necessary
out of the principal thereof, and from and after her decease in trust to pay
and assign my said estate to and between my daughters Ann Pearson and Margaret
Baird and their heirs equally for such purposes as they may by writing
or by will direct, it being my intention that the property herein devised to
my said daughters shall not be in any way liable for the debts or engagements
of their present or any future husbands or in any way subject to their control.
