And for the better understanding thereof, I think proper to mention that the prin- cipal objects of my regard are four daughters of my son-in-law Thomas Fitzgerald by my eldest dau r Rose who is dead, namely Rose, Anstace, Ann and Hester, and my second daughter married to Daniel Molloy, and my third daughter Ann not married nor do I mean she should marry in regard she has a Great obstruction in Speech and Hearing. And my fourth and youngest daughter Bridget Married to Richard Strange, and to whom I gave Double the portion I gave to either of her said two married sisters.

But in case of no issue the same is to be paid to my said Dau r Bridget and to my said four Grand- daughters in such shares and manners as I shall hereafter devise the residue of my substance to them.
