THOMAS RYALL Will 1709 

In the name of God Amen, I Thomas Ryall of the Upper Parish of the Isle Of 
Wight County in Virginia, being sick and weak in body but of sound and perfect 
memory thanks be to the Almighty God and rising to remembrance the immortality 
state of this life on earth and being desirous to settle things in order do 
make this my last will and testament in manner and form following: That is to 
say, first and principally I commend  my soul to  Almighty God my Creator and 
Redeemer.  Assured  by believing that I shall receive  full pardon and 
remission of my sins and be saved by the precious death and merits of my 
blessed Savior and Redeemer Christ Jesus and my body to earth from whence it 
was taken, to be buried in a decent and  Christian like manner as  my 
executrix, hereafter named, shall think fit  and convenient and as something 
so worldly as an estate, as the Lord in mercy is pleased to bestow on me. My 
Will and meaning is the same and shall be employed and bestowed  hereafter by 
this my will as expressed and first I do revoke, forsake,  renounce, and make 
void all wills formerly by me. I make and ordain and appoint this to be taken 
only for my last will and testament.

I give unto my son Thomas Ryall, one shilling.

I give unto my grandson Lawrence Brown, one shilling.

I give all the rest of my estate unto my well beloved wife Isabel Ryall during 
the time of  her widowhood, but if she remarry,  then  my will is then to be 
equally divided between  her and my four children, George Ryall, Charles 
Ryall, John Ryall, and Isabel Ryall, and I do acknowledge conscience and 
appoint my kind and loving wife Isabel Royall whole and sole executrix of this 
my last will and testament.

Witness my hand and seal this 26th of May 1709.                      Signed
