Thomas Wilson's Will (Transcription)

Whereas I have it in comtemplation to go to the Western Country and the uncertainty of my returning Imposes the duty on mw to Declare this to be my last will and Testament first it is my desire that all my Just Debts be paid and in order to effect that purpose I direct that my wife & my Son Matthew make sale of any part or all of my real or personal Estate as they may [think] The Interest of my Estate May require & I hereby Give them the same power to Sell make Titles to purchases that I myself now have With the Exception that it is my desire that all my children reserve an Equal part of my Estate after my Debts are paid and Whereas I leave full confidence in the Integrity and honesty of my said son Matthew & he being now under Lawfull age & unable to Execute a bond it is my desire that the Court will permit him to qualify as my Executor without such bond but after he arrives of Lawfull age & any of the Legatees should be dissatisfied with the administration of the said Estate they will be at Liberty to compell him to give such security as the Court may think reasonable

I further direct that my children be Educated in the best manner tht my Estate may allow but one regard must always be had to the disch[arge] of my Debts

Witness my hand and seal this 19th of April 1819
