I, Josephus Cornelius Angolus DeNeve of the City of Rochester, County of
Monroe and State of New York, in view of the uncertainty of life, do make
publish and declare this my last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all
former Wills by me heretofore made.  

FIRST:  I give and bequeath to the two daughters of my deceased son, Peter 
Hendirk, whose names I do not now recollect, but who are now, as I understand
in Holland, the sum of one hundred dollars, each.

SECOND:  I give and bequeath to the Son of my deceased son John Pieter, now 
living somewhere in the state of California, as is supposed, but whose
christian name I do not recollect, the sum of twenty-five dollars.

THIRD: I give and bequeath my daughter Maria Pietronella wife of Abraham Devos
of the said City of Rochester, the sum of two hundred dollars.

FOURTH: I give and bequeath to Mrs. Emily Widdowson, wife of Thomas Widdowson,
of the City of Rochester, the sum of one hundred dollars.

FIFTH: I give and bequeath to my son William Peter, now or late of the City of 
New York, the sum of twenty-five dollars.

LASTLY: I devise and bequeath all the rest and residue of all my property,
real and personal, of every name and kind, and wheresoever situated, to my
sons Cornelius Pieter and Anthony Pieter DeNeve, and my daughters Johanna
Joaina Pieternella, wife of Bastian De Plaa, Jacoba Wilhelmina Pieternella,
wife of Jan Marinus Van Derhaven all of said City of Rochester, and my
daughter Wilhelmina Pieternella Johanna wife of Jacoba Mahusen of the town of
Webster in said county of Monroe, equally, share and share alike.  I nominate
and appoint my said sons Cornelius Peter and Anthony Peter De Neve executors
of my last Will and Testament, and I direct that they shall not be required to
give any security on taking out letters testamentary.  After payment of all my
just debts, and funeral expenses, I direct my said executors to pay the above
specific legacies at as early a period, after my decease as they can
conveniently, and within three months, if possible.  I direct my said
executors to fit up the lot at Mount Hope, where I shall be buried, and place
suitable head stones at my own and the grave of my deceased wife, as soon
after my decease as the same can conveniently be done.  In witness whereof, I,
Joseph Cornelius Angolus DeNeve have to this my last Will and Testament,
consisting of one half sheet of paper, subscribed my name this 17th day of
January 1873.
