In the name of God, Amen. I, Richard Ingoldsby, Esq., of the city of New York, being sensible of the mortality of this life.

After the payment of all debts and funeral expenses, I leave all my estate, real and personal, to my beloved wife, Mary Ingoldsby, during her widowhood. If she remarries, then I give to my daughter, Mary Pinhorne, one half of all gold, silver, jewels, plate and household goods. And all that remains unsold after my wife's decease. If my daughter, Mary Pinhorne, should die without issue, then all my estate is to go to my two nephews, Lancaster and Richard Symes, sons of my brother-in-law, Lancaster Symes, of New York. I leave to my son, George Ingoldsby, 5 shillings, in full of all demands as heir at law. I make my wife sole executor.
