The ninth day of May, Anno Domini One Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty two, I, Yeamans Gillingham, of Oxford township, in the county of Philadelphia, in the province of Pennsylvania, being very, very sick and weak in body, but of perfect mind and memory, thanks be given unto God therefor, calling unto mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, do make and ordain this my last will and testament. That is to say, principally and first of all, I give and commend my soul into the hands of God that gave it, and for my body I recommend it to the earth to be buried in a Christian-like and decent manner at the discretion of my executors. And as touching such worldly estate wherewith it hath pleased God to bless me in this life, I give, devise and dispose of the same in the following manner and form: Imprimis, I will that all my honest and just debts be known and to be paid as soon as may be after my decease out of my estate, and in order thereto I will that my estate be sold as soon as may be after my decease and all my funeral charges to be defrayed as soon as may be after my decease. Item, I give and bequeath to Mary, my dearly beloved wife, all my estate, both personal and real, to be disposed of as she pleaseth and by her freely to be possessed, and enjoyed by her, her heirs and assigns forever excepting, if my estate will admit, after debts defrayed, fifty pounds to each of my dearly beloved sons, James and John, and I do will the said moneys to be put out with good security till they do come of age. I do likewise constitute, make and ordain my said dear and loving wife, my executrix of this my last will and testament, and also I do make, ordain and constitute my two sons in law, Henry Paul and James Willson, executors with my said wife jointly of this my last will and testament. Lastly I do hereby utterly disallow, revoke and disannul all and every other former testaments, wills, legatees and executors by me named any other time before this time named, willed and bequeathed. Ratifying and confirming this to be my last will and testament and none other. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal the day and year first above written.
