*** Nuncupative ***

We, John Walker and Ruth D. Mooney do state that the Nuncupative Will of Sarah Mooney was made by her on the 12th of August, 1837, in our presence to which we were specially requested to bear witness by the Testator herself in the presence of each other, that it was in her sickness at the house of Ruth Mooney where she had resided for several weeks previous to her death and the same is as follows, (Viz):

It was her will and desire that her effects should be disposed of after her decease in the following manner:

First. She wished and desired that Martha Mooney her niece should have her bed.

Secondly. That her clothes should be equally divided between Martha Mooney and Elizabeth Mooney, two nieces.

Thirdly. She stated that she had put into the hands of Hezekiah Davis for collection about the sum of forty dollars and it was her wish that James Neill should be paid out of the money what she owed him, and that her Aunt Ruth Mooney should have the balance.

Made out by us and signed This 22nd day of August, 1837.

Ruth [X] D. Mooney (her mark)
