We the subscribed persons being sent for by Anne Christian 
als Callow now deceased when she laid sick, who declared 
to us that she then lay on her death bed, as she thought, 
and that Hugh Christian & his sister Mary say that the 
girls, whom we apprehend to be Mary and Joney her sisters 
did owe here & her husband some money, but to prevent 
their further trouble, she declared that the said girls 
did not owe them on xx groat; 
after which we pressed her to make a will, whereupon she 
made answer that she had no will to make having no effects 
in the Island, and as for the small goods she had in 
Ireland she said that she owed others, and others owed 
her and thought what effects of hers were there now 
little enough to balance her debts. And being asked who 
she appointed to take up money from Charles Ratcliffe 
& his wife, she nominated William Ballafaile, 
William Ballaskeig to levey the same, & be paid for 
their trouble. 
And as for the money due from Carris’s daughter she 
owned her son had xxx some part thereof, but we remember 
not the exact sum; and she ownxx part of Charles 
Ratcliff’s money was to go towards the payment of her 
funeral charges. 
Witnesses:

The Testatrix having nominated no Executor, therefore 
her brother Rxxxx Callow, & her sisters Joney, Margaret 
& Mary Callow are decreed administrators, and Edward 
Croshe husband to Margaret is sworn in form of law.
