I, Peter Wraxall, of New York, being in health." I leave to my honored father and friend, Mr. John Wraxall, of Bristol, England, £20. To my sister, Ann Wraxall, "by my father's first wife, and my own mother," £400. To my sister Mary, £50. If my sister Ann should die, then I leave the £400 to my niece Elizabeth, daughter of my brother Richard. "I leave to my worthy and much esteemed friend, Sir William Johnson, Baronet, £20, to be laid out in any little reminder of our uninterrupted friendship."

All the rest of my estate I leave to my most excellent and dearly beloved wife Elizabeth, whom I make executor." "And were it not for the circumstances of my sister Ann and my niece Elizabeth, I would have been guided by superior affection and left all to my wife."

"I desire I may be buried without any kind of expence which may border upon ostentation. If my fortune would permit it, I should be greatly an Enemy to all the Glowing Pomp."
