England nothing doubting but at the general resurrection I shall receive the
same again by the mighty power of God. And as touching such worldly estate
wherewith it hath pleased God to bless me in this life I give devise and dispose
of the same in the following manner and form:
First I give and bequeath
to my son Robert the piece of land on which he is building his house. Also
that the field south of the stable and the field on which the stable stands
running down to the pond shall be divided between my four sons John,
Allan, Joseph and Arthur and my beloved wife to have a share with them as long as
she remains a widow. Also that my cow shall belong to my son Allan and my bullock
shall if I die be sold to pay for my burial. My sheep shall be divided, one
ewe to Robert one to John and one to Allan and two ewe lambs one of them to
Joseph and one to my daughter Elizabeth. My dwelling house shall be the joint
property of my wife and all my children as long as they remain single and have
no houses of their own. If my wife marries again she shall have no further
claim on my house or anything of furniture in it. Also when either of my children
marries and has a house of their own they shall have no further claims on my
house. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this twenty
third day of April in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety
two. (Sgd) John his X mark Chaytor (LS) Signed Sealed published pronounced
