"In the name of God, Amen, March 26, 1781. I John Neely, of Hanover Precinct,
Ulster County, being sick. My executors are to collect all money due to me. If
it should please God that my daughter, Sarah Wilkens, should be left a widow,
I leave her ú200, to be paid ú50 a year by my executors for four years. But if
her husband, James Wilkens, should outlive her, I leave her nothing more than
she has already had. All the rest of my estate, real and personal, I leave to
my daughter, Mary Neely. If my said daughter Mary should have a male child, it
is to be called John Neely. But if she should have no issue, then I leave all
my real estate to Samuel Neely, son of my brother Matthew. And if he has a
son, it shall be called John Neely, and all the lands shall descend to him.
And further, as there is a prospect of my daughter Mary marrying Andrew
Wilson, if she dies before him, without issue, he is to have one-half of the
movables, and my daughter Mary may leave the other part to any of the blood
relatives of the family of Neely. I make my daughter Mary and Andrew Wilson,
executors." Witnesses were Alexander Trimble, John Trimble, Patrick Barber,
Esq.
