Item, I give to the poor of the parish of St. Martins in Canterbury wherein I dwell ten shillings of lawful English money to be distributed amongst them at the discretion of my executrix.
Item, I do nominate and appoint ELIZABETH, my loving wife, to be mine Executrix and I appoint and desire my loving friend MR. WATMER to be mine overseer to advise and assist my wife and children, and I give unto him five pounds of current English money to be paid within six months after my decease.
All the rest of my goods and chattels whatsoever, I will shall be equally divided into three parts and thereof I give one part unto my said love wife, ELIZABETH, and the other two parts I give unto my two daughters, namely to CATHERINE my daughter, one part thereof and the other part unto my daughter LUCY. And if either of my said daughters shall happen to die before their ages of one and twenty years or days of their several marriages without issue of their bodies lawfully begotten, then I will her part so dying unto my other daughter that shall survive.
This is the last Will and Testament of me the said JOHN COLLARD made the day and year first above written of and concerning all and singular my lands, tenements and hereditaments whatsoever, that is to say,
I give and devise unto my said two daughters CATHERINE and LUCY all that my messuage or tenement with the appurtenances and lands whatsoever situate lying and being in the parish of Waltham in the County of Kent to be had and houlden unto them the said CATHERINE and LUCY and to their heirs forever equally to be divided between them when they shall attain and come to their several ages of one and twenty years or to their several days of their marriage which shall first happen. Except one piece or parcel of land called Haylebath containing twelve acres of land more or less being parcel of the lands now belonging unto my said messuage or tenement, of which piece or parcel of land called Haylebath I give full power and authority to ELIZABETH my wife and Executrix to sell away two parts thereof, in three parts to be divided for and towards the payment of my debts and legacies, funeral expenses, probate of my Will and other ordinary charges which being deducted, I will the overplus of the money that shall arise upon the sale thereof (if any such overplus shall be) to be divided into three parts, and thereof I give one part unto my said wife, an other part unto my daughter CATHERIN, and the third part unto my daughter LUCY. And if either of my said daughters die before their age of one and twenty years or day of their marriage without issue of their body lawfully begotten, then I will her part so deceasing unto the other of them that shall survive as well of my messuage, tenement and lands before to them devised as also of the overplus of the money arising of the sale of the said lands called Haylebath before mentioned. And I will that my said two daughters parts of the said overplus of money shall be put out to profit after the rate of eight pounds in the hundred by the year into the hands of sufficient men for the better increase of the same until they shall come to their several ages or days of marriage.
Item, I give unto my said loving wife, ELIZABETH, the yearly profits of my said messuage or tenement and lands devised to my said daughters for and twoards their maintenance and bringing up until they shall come to their several ages of one and twenty years or days of their marriage, she the said ELIZABETH keeping the said messuage or tenement and all the houses and buildings thereunto belonging sufficiently repaired and making no strip nor waste. And after my said daughters shall come to their ages of one and twenty years or days of marriage which first shall happen, then and from thence forth I give unto my said wife the sum of ten pounds a year yearly out of the profits of my said messuage or tenement and lands for and during her natural life half yearly to be paid at the two most usual feasts of the year, that is the feast of the Annuciation of the Blessed Virgin St. Mary and St. Michael the Archangel by equal and even portions, the first payment thereof to be made at that feast of the feasts aforesaid which shall come next after my said daughters shall come to their said ages or days of marriage, and if the said yearly sum of ten pounds or any part thereof shallbe behind and unpaid at any time contrary to this my Will then my will is that my said wife or her assign shall and may enter and distrain in or upon my said messuage and lands or any part thereof for recovery of the sum in as large and ample manner as in cases of distress for recovery of rent or ferme at common law, so as she the said ELIZABETH, my wife, shall remain a widow and unmarried. But if she shall hereafter become married after my decease then I will she shall no longer receive or enjoy the profits of my said messuage, tenement or lands, or the said ten pounds by the year. But, from and after such her marriage the whole profits of my said messuage, tenement and lands shall go equally to and for the benefit of my said two children, namely ten pounds a piece for and towards their education and bringing up yearly until they shall severally come to their ages of one and twenty years or days of marriage, and the overplus arising of the said profits to be put out for their profit and benefit after eight pounds in the hundred for a year twoards the increase of their portions, and my wife to have the bringing up of my said daughters and to receive the ten pounds a piece yearly for the same and if my said children shall both die before they shall come to their said ages of one and twenty years or days of marriage without heirs of their bodies lawfully begotten, then I will and devise my said messuage or tenement and lands after the decease of my said wife unto ELIZABETH HURLESTON and THOMASIN JOYCE my daughters-in-law, the children of my said wife, ELIZABETH, and to JEROME COSBY, shoemaker, my son-in-law, the son of CATHERINE, my late wife and to their heirs forever, that is to say the one half thereof to the said ELIZABETH HURLESTON and THOMASIN JOYCE and to their heirs and the other half unto the said JEROME COSBY and to his heirs forever.
And I then also give and bequeath the portions of my said two daughters (if they both die before their said ages or marriages and without issue as aforesaid) unto the said ELIZABETH AND THOMASIN, my daughters-in-law, the one half thereof, and the other half unto my said son-in-law, JEROME.
