Will Book __, Page 415<\/p>\n
In the name of God, Amen.<\/p>\n
I John Rice, Senior<\/b>, being for some time past in declining state of health but of sound mind and memory, and calling to mind the mortality of all men — that it is appointed unto all men once to die — do by these presents declare, ratify and announce my last Will and Testament in the manner following, to wit:<\/p>\n
After commending my soul to God and my body to the dust from whence it came, to be buried in a decent and Christian manner, hoping they will be again united at the General Resurrection and received into the favor of God.<\/p>\n
I do bequeath and dispose of all my worldly goods and chattels in the following manner:<\/p>\n
First. I allow all my just debts to be paid.<\/p>\n
