  	Will of Andrew Kelso
  	
  	In the name of God, Amen. This 5th day of June in the year of our Lord 
  one thousand seven hundred and sixty, I, Andrew Kelso, of Bedminister 
  Township, Bucks County, being weak in body but of perfect sound mind and 
  memory, thanks be to God, therefore, calling to mind the uncertainty of this 
  life, and the certainty of death, do make and ordain this my last will and 
  testament in manner and form as followeth.
  	
  	First, I recommend my soule [sic] into the hands of God, my merciful 
  creator and redeemer, and my body to the earth from whence it came, decently 
  for to be buried at the discretion of mine executor, hereafter named, whom I 
  desire for to pay all my just debts and legacies where I owe and now touching 
  such worldly goods wherewith it hath pleased the Lord for to bless my 
  endeavors, I devise and dispose of the same as followeth, viz:
  	
  	Imprimis, I give and bequeath unto my loving wife, Sarah Kelso, one 
  bed and furniture, thereon belonging, and one cow and 2 small iron pots. It is 
  my will that my executor shall make a public sale of all my estate, excepting 
  what is here already mentioned, as soon as they shall see fit to such persons 
  as they see fit for to buy and pay all my just debts and funeral expenses and 
  the remainder __________ money they shall divide in eight equal parts, share 
  and share alike. One part to my loving wife Sarah, and one equal part to 
  Robert, and one equal part to my daughter Jane, and one part to my daughter 
  Mary, and one part to my son John, and one part to my daughter Allse, and one 
  part to my daughter Elizabeth, and one part to my daughter Margaret Kelso. 
  Each for to have an equal share. It is my will that my sons shall be put out 
  for trades as they like best.
  	
  	And last of all, I do hereby nominate and appoint my loving wife Sarah 
  Kelso and my loving brother George Kelso, sole executors of this my last will 
  and testament, denying all other wills and testaments, and this alone and no 
  other.
