Will of Andrew Dawe
from Newfoundland will books volume 10 pages 341-342 probate
year 1915
In re ANDREW DAWE deceased.
This is the last will and testament
of me Andrew Dawe of Long Pond Conception Bay. I hereby revoke all former wills and appoint Rev.
E.P. Roche, Admr. Kelligrews,
to be my executor. After my death my property
is to be disposed of thus: the pony and bullock
belonging to me are to be sold; the money realized by the former (the pony)
is to purchase a headstone for myself and my wife Jane Dawe; the money realized by the latter (the bullock) is to purchase a headstone for
my children Nicholas and Andrew Dawe I give
three barrels of potatoes to John Porter; I
give one barrel to my mother Amelia Dawe; five
barrels are to be sold for my two sons, the money to be distributed between
them as the executor thinks fit; the remainder
of the potatoes to be sold in the spring and the money to be divided amongst
the two boys The hay is to be sold in the spring
and of the money ten dollars ($10.00) are to go to Mrs. Philip Walshe of
Kelligrews; two dollars go for Masses for myself and my wife Jane
Dawe- the
remainder is to be kept by the executor for equal division among the two boys
The
land is to be divided thus: the piece of land near Fox Trap Church, and the
piece of land situated between the properties of John and Wm.
Sweetland, I
give to my son Bernard Dawe for his maintenance till he comes
of age; the crops of said land are to go to James
Aida in return for supporting
and educating Bernard, as long as Bernard shall
remain with him. The house, outhouses etc. and the land around
the house near the main road I give to my son Walter Dawe when
he comes of age; the crops of said land (around the house) are to go to Mary
Anne Porter in return for
supporting and educating Walter, as long as Walter remains
with her. When the children come of age the land is to be equally divided between
them, that is between Bernard and Walter;
the house and the land around it are to go to Walter together
with as much of the land outside as will make up half of the entire property. If Bernard should
wish to live in the house when he comes of age he may do so; but the house
and the land around it belong exclusively to Walter when he comes of age
All my movable property I give to Bernard,
to be kept for him till he comes of age, and not to be used till then. None
of the movable property except their beds, is to go with Bernard and Walter to
those who are taking them. In the event of the
death of one of my sons, the whole property goes to the other son; if
both should die the property goes to my daughter Amelia
Dawe; if none should survive the house and the
land around it go to John Porter son of Mary Anne
Porter; the
other two lots of land specified above are to be sold and the money realized
to purchase a headstone for the children; a headstone for
my mother; Six dollars for Masses and the remainder I give to John
Porter If
one of my sons should die before the other comes of age, the crops of the whole
land are to go towards the support of the survivor. If my
daughter Amelia
Dawe should ever need a home, and if one of my sons be
living on the property, she cannot be prevented from living with him. Everything
in the house, furniture etc I give to Walter when
he comes of age; the gun I leave to Bernard In
witness whereof I Andrew Dawe have to his my last will and
testament set my name the tenth day of November in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and ninety eight. Andrew X Dawe Signed
