I Anne Wier, of the township of Warrington, County of Bucks, & State of
Penns do make this my last Will of Testament in manner following, viz:
commending my soul to God, in whose mercy I trust, & my body (when dead)
to the disposal of my Executor, I dispose of my estate (the proper
object of a will) as follows. To Hannah Jones who now lives with me, I
bequeath, (besides sundry bedding & other articles already given, or
hereafter to be given to her by me) one cover lid, one sheet & one
??ift, at her choice, of those to be belonging; also one callico gown
which was bought for her but made up for me; one striped cotton ditto;
one blue quilted petticoat; all my pewter, consisting of two dishes &
siz plates, & twenty five pounds specie in money to be paid at the
decease of my brother John Wier herein-after mentioned with interest
from ? after my decease. But if the said Hannah Jones die without
leaving lawful issue, before the decease of my said brother, this legacy
in money shall lapse, & pass to the then surviving children of my sister
Jane Kelso deceased, to be divided among them, share and share alike.
To my sister, Mary Flack, wife of Robert Flack, of New Britain, I give
my velvet & silk clokes. To Anne, daughter of the said Mary Flack, I
give my six silver teaspoons. To Anne Forsythe, daughter of my said
sister Jane, I give my bed curtains. To my said brother John Wier, I
give my case of Drawers & kitchen furniture; also to the said John Wier
I devise, for the term of his natural life only, he committing now as to

bequest to my said brother John, to be in full consideration of his
commissions, as my Executor & of the payment (which I charge him with)
of my funeral expences, legal debts & other costs of administration. To
Thomas Wier Flack, son of my said sister Mary Flack, & to his heirs &
ossigns(?(, I devise my said Messuage & two contiguous tracts of land,
situated in the said Township of Warrington, bounded by lands of Henry
Wireman, said John Wier, & of my brother Robert Wier, containing, in the
whole, one hundred, forty three acres & three quarters of an acre of
land be the same more on less, to hold the said Messuage & described
tracts of land, to the said Thomas Wier Flack, his heirs & assigns, from
& after the decease of my said brother John, & thence forth forever
subject nevertheless, to the payment of the said legacy in money, in
time & manner aforesaid. But if the said Thomas Wier Flack shall die,
before my said Brother John, without leaving lawful issue, then I
empower the eldest son then surviving, of either of my said sisters, to
sell at public vendue for the best price that can be obtained, my said
Messuage & tracts of land, & good title or titles, in fee, to the
purchaser, or purchasers thereof, to ma? & deliver, & out of the monies
arising from such sale, after deducting necessary expences to pay the
said legacy of twenty five pounds, with interest & divide the rest
equally among all the then surviving children of my said Sisters Jane
Kelso & Mary Flack. But before my said Nephew proceeds to make sale as
aforesaid, he shall give sufficient security if required, to the other
parties interested, for the due execution of the trust, & if he cannot
or will not give such security, if required, his powers shall be
transferred to any other of my said sisters Children, who can give the
proper security, with preference to males & to age. The residue of my
body linnen, wearing apparel, bed, bedding & other personal property to
be divided into three equal shares, whereof, one to be given to Mary,
the wife of my said brother Robert Wier, one to my said Sister Mary
Flack, & one to the surviving daughters of my said sister Jane Kelso --
I appoint my said brother John Wier, whole & Sole Executor, of this my
last Will & Testament, authorizing him to do in my name & behalf,
whatever to the Office & duty of an Executor pertaineth. Lastly, I
hereby revoke all other Will or Wills by me heretofore made, & declare
