Will of Elizabeth Wood Ellis In re Elizabeth Wood Ellis deceased This is the last will and testament of Elizabeth Wood Ellis of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Spinster. After the deaths of my sisters, Mary Frances Ellis Ellis (?) and Fanny Sarah Ellis, I hereby give devise and bequeath all my interest in the Brine and Ellis Estates unto my sister Suzannah Ellen Letitia Blatch, at present residing in the city of St. John's, Newfoundland, her heirs and assigns; but this bequest is made on the condition that no claim shall be made on the said Brine and Ellis Estates by the said beneficiary, Suzannah Ellen Letitia Blatch, or her heirs or assigns for any moneys advanced to her sisters by the said Suzannah Ellen Letitia Blatch, and that in case any such demand shall be made, then this Will shall become void and of no effect.

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. |
