Record of Josiah Jackman's Will         

In the name of God, Amen.  I, Josiah Jackman of the town of Canadice, County
of Ontario, and state of New York, being of sound mind and memory, and 
considering the uncertainty of this frail and transitory life, do therefore 
make, ordain, publish and declare this to be my last will and testament.  That 
is to say:

First, after all my lawful debts are paid and discharged, I give and bequeath
and devise to my son Wiley Jackman and his heirs and assigns forever, all that
tract piece or parcel of land, situate lying and being in the town of
Springwater, county of Livingston, and state of New York, and bounded as
follows: on the east by the centre of the highway running north and south
through said town of Springwater, past the Christian Church on the south by
the lands in the possession of Hiram Becker and Lester B. Jackman, on the west
by lands heretofore owned by John Jennings and William H. Norton and on the
north by lands of Francills Stuart late of the town of Springwater deceased, 
containing one hundred and fifteen acres of land be the same more or less.  

Second, I give and bequeath and devise to my son Abner Jackman and Lucy his 
wife, the use and occupation of about one hundred and seventeen acres of land 
lying in the east part of the town of Canadice and on the west side of Honeoye 
Lake, being the same lands upon which said Abner now resides, for and during 
their natural lives or the longer lives of the two unless the said Lucy should 
survive the said Abner and should marry, then in that case, she must give up
the possession of said lands immediately, and after the decease of the said
Abner and Lucy or her marriage, there I give, bequeath, and devise all that
tract piece or parcel of land to their children: Dora, Jen, Rosa, Fredy and
Zora, and to their heirs and assigns forever.  

Third, and lastly, I give, bequeath and devise to my wife Luva B. Jackman and
to her heirs and assigns all the rest and residue of my property, both real 
and personal of whatsoever nature and wherever found and I hereby declare the 
said gift is intended to be and is so given to her in full satisfaction and 
recompense of and for her dower and thirds? which she may or can in any wise 
claim or demand out of my estate.

Likewise, I make, constitute, and appoint my wife, Luva B. Jackman to be the
executrix of this my last will and testament hereby revoking all former wills
by me made.  In witness whereof I have here unto subscribed my name and
affixed my seal the first day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand 
eight hundred and seventy nine.
