In nominee dei Amen. I Robert Allen vicar
of KK Maughall, weak and feeble in body
but whole and perfect in mind (praised
be God) do make this my last will and
testament in manner and form following.
Imprimis, I commit and commend my soul to
God my Creator and Redeemer, and my body
to Christian burial.
Item, I leave to the poor at the discretion
of the Executrix.
I leave to each one of my children (sons
& daughters) ten shillings apiece as legacies.
I constitute, and ordain, my wife Jane
Executrix of all the rest of my goods
moveable and immoveable, whatsoever Lands,
houses, crop provided that if my said wife
do marry, that then she shall be answerable
to my said children for my said goods
according to Inventory.
It is also my will that when each child is
to be pre---ed that then my said goods
shall be distributed and disposed of to
that child, or the other, according to
the discretion of my said wife with whom
I desire my well beloved friends, & kinsfolk
(Captn. Richard Stevenson, Captn Robert Calcot,
Thomas Norris Deemster, Parson Harrison,
Mr. Thomas Fletcher) to join in their
assistance and advice hoping they will be
pleased out of their affection to me both
to be assistants to my said wife, and
overseers to my children, whom I desire
also to understand that it is no way my
intent that each child shall have an equal
proportion of my said goods, but that they
(my said wife, & overseers) shall distribute
and dispose of them to each child as
they shall see best cause, and as shall be
for their most necessary preferment.
And that this is my Will I do hereby
justify under my hand.
Ro. Allen.
