Last will and testament
of John Collier
of Codroy Farmer Deceased.

In the name of God Amen.

I John Collier Senr though infirm and feeble in body, being thank God perfectly sound and collected in mind and feeling that I may be called hence at any moment, do think it my duty to make my last will and testament; and without reservation, I accordingly declare this to be my last will and testament. In the first place I commend the whole of myself, body soul and spirit to the merciful keeping of my good Creator; with an humble reliance, notwithstanding my manifold sins and infirmities upon the only mediation of our divine Redeemer and the everlasting fellowships of the Holy Spirit.
Next I bequeath to my son George Manuel Collier my boats small and big, to number of five and all my nets fishing gear & stage and houses. My hooved cattle, sheep & pigs my houses stables and storehouses. Next I bequeath my land (with the exception of the top part fenced in) to my son George Manual Collier. But I will that my daughter Mary Collier shall have the top part fenced in as long as she shall require it. If she should leave Codroy, I will that this top part fenced in shall become the property of George Manuel Collier. In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand and seal. Dated this 1^st day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty eight. John his x mark Collier (L.S.) Witness to signature W. S. Raffins
