Will of John Dibbon In re JOHN DIBBIN. DECEASED. I John Dibbon of Port Au Bras, Burin, NFLD. being of sound mind and memory, do make this my last Will and Testament, revoking any other Will made by me. I hereby give and bequeath, all my landed property equally between my two sons Henry Dibbon, and John Samuel Dibbin, and also the Stores, and other buildings thereon; also I bequeath my Dwelling house to my two sons aforesaid; and further I request and direct, that on the death of either of my sons, the entire property is to become the property of the one then living, but in the event of the deceased son leaving a child or children, the property of the deceased shall become the property of the child or children as the case may be. CORRECT. (Listed in the Margin next to this will the following)

Note: The wills in those will books are NOT actual wills. They are hand-written copies of a, "last will and testament," written by the court clerk, after the death of the testator, when the executor presented them to the court for probate. The court clerk didn't list the signatures at the bottom, he (or she) just put them in the book in whatever order they were in, on the original document, no spacing most of the time, no punctuation. The originals were kept by the executor. We who have typed these wills, have made every effort to include all the errors that were on the microfilm, in order to avoid destroying the integrity of the originals, where ever they may be. |
