Note: Transcribed from LDS microfilm 2070897. This will is from the Newfoundland will books vol 5 folio 486 probate 1890. This is the will for Lucretia Sarah Calver Gill, second daughter of Nicholas Gill and Elizabeth Mary Burton Gill. Her will is almost identical to the will for her sister Amelia Gill, fourth daughter of Nicholas and Elizabeth. Their wills were both dated 1873 and were obviously done at the same time because of their great similarity.
