shillings which sum he ordered his son John to pay 
to Daniel out of the money which was in Philip 
Cowle’s Croft. 
He further bequeathed to his son Daniel his part 
of a cow which was in Daniel’s keeping, as also 
his share of the price of an heifer and calf 
which was in Daniel’s own hands. 
He left to Daniel’s children a sheep apiece. 
He left to his grandchild John his share of a 
young bullock, and desired his son John to give 
the said child his part of the said bullock and 
to take in lieu of his part the money which 
was in Thomas Lace’s hands. 
He left to his daughter Catharine as much of a 
Loghtyn web as would make her a waist coat. 
And to his daughter in law Joney as much of the 
same web as would make her a waist coat, and 
the remainder of it for a coat for his grandson John. 
He left to his daughter Catharine some wool 
which was in a canvas over the door. 
And to Joney Crebbin the wool which was betwixt them. 
He further left to Catharin’s husband some woolen 
yarn which he had sent there for clothes for her 
husband.

sum of twelve shillings which was due to him from 
Ewan Curghey and left her further whatever goods 
were in her hands. 
He left also to Catharine and his son John the 
remainder of the money which was in his chest 
after all funeral charges were satisfied, to be 
divided equally between them. 
The Testator declared that there was due to him 
from John Tear Kleau-Veanee the sum of fourteen 
shillings which his son John had reckoned to him. 
And from Daniel Christian the sum of ten shillings. 
He left to Joney Crebbin his daughter in law and 
to her young child a cow which was in her father’s 
hands.

Cormoad sole Executor of all the rest of his goods 
moveable and immoveable whatsoever.

were so many remaining.
