Will of Patrick Foley In re PATRICK FOLEY. DECEASED. May 27th 1906 I patrick Foley of sound mind and senses do now bequeath
to my son Peter all my lands and property, within and without,
except one meadow, that is the lonf meadow by the brook. I want three
shares made of said meadow two shares for Peter the other share to
go to my grandson Patrick Lundrigan. There is a yearly crop
of three tons of hay on this meadow. I want said Patrick Lundrigan to
sell his share of this hay yearly until he raises enough of money
to buy a headstone for me, after that he can claim both the hay and
his share of the meadow I want my son Peter to give 16 (Sixteen
Dollars) for masses for me, he can give 8 (eight dollars) yearly
for two years. My son William got his share of the ground
and Cattle when he was married and also took all the fishing gear
that I had at that time. So he need not expect or claim anything
more. 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. |
