[in Hessen, Germany] being at this time in consequence of
my protracted illness, very week yet of clear and capable
understanding and of perfect memory, have thought it
advisable and very necessary to do what is the duty of all
Christians namely to prepare myself for death.
Therefore I leave in the first place my soul in the
hands of Almighty God, my Creator; in the second place
I put my house in order and ordain about my worldly
possessions as follows.
I ordain as my last will and Testament that my body
shall be buried in my late dear Mother’s grave which I
have ordered to be built at my expense near the Church
of Elligult in Småland for that purpose.
In the third place I have thought it proper, to put
down a specification of my debts to the best of my memory
which I ordain to be paid first to my (creditors ?) in Scotland.
First to his Exc. the Master of the Horse of the
Kingdom of Sweden, General Robert Douglas, Lord of
Skälby. . ,l;
Secondly to Col. Hugh Hamilton 720 Rixdollars,
capital and interest as the documents show ;
Thirdly to Elisabeth Clerck, Captain James Sinclair’s
wife, one thousand four hundred and ninety Rixdollars,
including the whole interest until the next eleventh of July;
Fourthly to Jane Henderson, late Capt. Jacob Lawder’s
widow, three hundred eighty-nine Rixdollars.
Fifthly to Jacob Feiff2 four hundred and two Thalers
u Kopper Mynt ” as my account shows.
Sixthly to Jacob Macklier2 three hundred ninety nine
Thalers Kopper Mynt and fifty eight Reixdollars which
he paid in my name to Willem Lindsay;
