said county deceased, and requested to have the said will recorded, and the

saw and heard the said Job execute as his last will and testament a certain
paper writing now here shown them, bearing date the third day of April, one
thousand eight hundred and thirteen, and that the said Job signed his name

Job was of a sound disposing mind and memory, and in all respects competent to
devise real estate, of lawful age and free from restraint, and that the said
witnesses subscribed their names to said will in the presence of the said
testator and of each other.  It appearing to said Surrogate, that the said
will was only executed and that the said testator was at the time of executing
