WILL - Margaret McDonald (Widow of Alexander McDonald; Lot 42)
To my son Vitalis (Fidelis )—I leave the farm on which I now reside, containing 50 acres of land as purchased from the Trustees of Charles Worrell Esquire.
My daughters, Catherine and Margaret who are presently unmarried are permitted to reside in the dwelling house for as long as they live here. I leave each daughter equal shares of my property.
I appoint Joseph MacPhee of Big Marsh, Lot 42, executive of my will and testament. In case of any dispute between my son and daughters, I hope and expect each of them to yield to his decision on the matter.
