      IN THE NAME OF GOD, AMEN, the 25th day of May in the third year of the reign of our sovereign Lord George by the Grace of God of Great Britain, France, and Ireland King, Defender of the faith, etc., annoquam Domini 1717, I, JOHN BROADBRIDGE, of the parish of Boughton under the Blean in the County of Kent, husbandman, being sick in body but sound in mind and memory thanks be therefore given to Almighty God, do make and declare this my present last Will and Testament in manner following and first I commit my soul into the hand and mercy of Almighty God and my body to the earth from whence it came to be decently interred at the discretion of my Executor hereinafter named and as for that part or portion of worldly goods which God in his bounty hath been pleased to bestow upon me I give and dispose of as followeth

      And first I will and desire that all my goods and chattels whatsoever be rightly and truly valued by a fair and honest appraisement and the whole being taken or considered in three parts (after my debts, legacies, and funeral charges are paid) I freely given unto my loving wife one part of the said three, that is to say, one third part of the whole and the other two remaining parts that is to say all the rest after as I said before my debts, legacies and funeral expenses are paid, I give equally to my three sons and my daughter (namely) GEORGE, EDWARD, ANTHONY, and ELIZABETH BROADBRIDGE to be divided amongst them in four just or equal parts or portions.

      Item, I give to my granddaughter MARY daughter of my late son JOHN BROADBRIDGE, deceased, the sum of twenty shillings.

      item, I give to my grandson JOHN, son of my son-in-law WILLIAM BOUGHTON, the like sum of twenty shillings.

      item, I give to my granddaughter ELIZABETH daughter of my said son-in-law, WILLIAM BOUGHTON the like sum of twenty shillings and I will that these three legacies of twenty shillings a piece be paid to each of them by my said Executor in one year's time next after my decease and I do nominate and appoint my said son, GEORGE BROADBRIDGE to be full and sole Executor to this my last Will and I will and desire that my said Executor shall be allowed all reasonable charges which he on his discretion shall think convenient to be at about my funeral and whereas I now stand indebted to my said son EDWARD BROADBRIDGE in the sum of five pounds for wages due to him as my servant at Michaelmas last past notwithstanding the five pounds which he hath received of me to buy himself clothes and which was due also for wages at the said Michaelmas last my will and meaning is that he shall pay the said five pounds together with what other wages shall be due to him from the said Michaelmas last for this present year at the rate of eight pounds for the year according to our Bargain or agreement over and above his part or share of the dividend to be equally made as before mentioned, but if he shall require or demand any further sum for wages or upon any other account whatsoever my will and meaning is that the said further sum shall be withdrawn from his part of the dividend to be equally made as before.

      So revoking all other Wills whatsoever I do declare this present writing contained in one sheet of paper to be my last Will and Testament.

      In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal to each side of this sheet the day and yeat at first abovewritten.
