27        Braddan
In the name of God, amen. I Margaret Allen als Bridson
wife of John Allen of Douglas within the Isle o Man, 
being sick and weak in body but of perfect mind and memory, 
considering the uncertainty of this mortal life, have 
thought proper to make this my last will and testament in 
manner as following.  
First, I commend my soul to God and my mortal body to 
the earth, hoping to receive pardon of all my sins through 
the merits of my blessed Saviour and Redeemer Jesus Christ.  
And as for such worldly effects as it hath pleased God to 
endow me therewith, I leave and bequeath at followeth: 
First, I leave and bequeath to MY FATHER a guinea legacy.  
Item, I leave and bequeath unto MY MOTHER all my wearing 
apparel, excepting my blue silk gown and velvet cloak.  
Item, I leave and bequeath to each my brothers and to each 
of my sisters one shilling apiece legacy.  
Item, I leave and bequeath to my god-daughter Jane Allen 
one guinea legacy.  
And lastly I leave and bequeath all the rest of my effects 
moveable and immoveable, being of what nature soever, 
unto my loving husband John Allen, and do hereby nominate,
constitute and appoint him my sole executor, and this I 
make as my last will and testament, as witness my hand and 
seal this nineteenth day of December 1747.
