| DACKOMBE Will of Daniel (1844) |
I have received from Bonnie Mann in America her transcription of the said Will, as it is complete and she has managed to get more words than I had at this time I have replaced my transcription with hers. I like the way that she has italicised the names of people within the Will and I shall do this to the other Wills in this section.
This is the last Will and Testament of Daniel Dackombe of Spring Cottage George Street Walworth in the County of Surrey Gentlemen. First I direct that all my accounts funeral expenses and the charges of proving this my will may be fully paid and satisfied by my Executrix hereinafter named as soon as conveniently may be after my decease. I give and bequeath unto my dear wife Mary Ann Dackombe my leasehold house wherein I now reside with the furniture and effects therein for and during the term of her natural life but so that she may not sell or mortgage the same. And after her death I direct that the same may be sold and the monies divided among all my children in equal shares and proportions. And as to all the Rest Residue and Remainder of my estate and effects of what nature or kind soever the same may be consist or I give and bequeath the same and every part thereof unto my said dear wife for her own use and benefit absolutely. And I do hereby nominate constitute and appoint my said dear wife Mary Ann Dackombe sole Executrix of this my will. And lastly hereby revoking and making void all former and other wills by me at any time heretofore made I do declare this only to be and contain my last will and testament in witness whereof I Daniel Dackombe the testator have to this my will set my hand this sixteenth day of October One Thousand Eight Hundred and Forty Three.
