Notes: This one is copyright with a large charge to look at it anywhere besides if you have a membership to Ancestry or elsewhere, where supposidly you aren’t to present the image afterward. It is also the singularly msot useless will genealogically I’ve ever seen. It may be saying that Alice was previously married and had other children. It basically says she gets everything and she should forgive this dead guy and his children.
