1º I recommend my soul to Almighty God my Creator in the humble hope that he will receive the same to his favor through the merits and intercession of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.

2º I will and order that my body be committed to the grave to be interred in a manner suitable to my station in life and according to the rites and solemnities of the Holy Roman Catholic Church and faith of which I am a member, and that a funeral mass be sung over my remains the day of my funeral.

4º I give, devise and bequeath to my son Joseph issue of my marriage with Dame Elizabeth Lannin the following immoveable property, namely, a lot of land situate in the Parish of Sainte Catherine in the Seigniory of Fossambault being commonly known as lot number seventy five of the Sixth Range and containing about three arpents of land in front by thirty arpents in depth, or a superficial measurement of ninety arpents, with the house and other buildings thereon erected, said lot now known and distinguished upon the official plan and Book of Reference for the County of Portneuf and Parish of Sainte Catherine as lot official number four hundred and twenty seven (no. 427) to be by my said son Joseph used, enjoyed and disposed of by him in full property and ownership from and after the moment of my decease, hereby instituting him my legatee by particular title.

And lastly, as to the rest, residue and remainder of the whole of my estate and succession, moveable and immoveable property, money, regrets, actions, privilege, claims and demands, and all of the property generally whatsoever, which I may die possessed of without exception or reserve, wherever the same may be situate and to whatever amount the same may come to, I give, devise and bequeath the same to my well beloved wife, the said Elizabeth Lannin, in full property and ownership to be by her used, enjoyed and disposed of, as she may see fit and proper from and after the moment of my decease, hereby instituting her my residuary legatee and devisee, in full property and ownership and Executrix of this my present last will and testament, and revoking all other and former last wills and codicils by me heretofore made, willing and desiring that the present alone be followed after my decease.
