consideration the uncertainty of this mortal life and being of sound
disposing mind memory and understanding do make and publish this last
will and testament.
First I resign my soul to God and my body to a Christian burial.
Secondly I leave to my daughter Amelia Gawne otherwise Pedder two thousand
pounds British, the interest of which at fair per cent, she is to get during
her natural life, then to be divided equally among her children, and if none
to be equally divided among her brother and sisters children
in this sum over and above what I have settled upon her before this. Thirdly
I leave and bequeath to my daughter Isabella Gawne three
thousand pounds British the interest of which at five per cent she is to
get during her natural life, then to be divided equally among her children,
