I, DANIEL DAY, of the Parish of Saint John, Wapping, in the County of
Middlesex, late Block and Pump Maker, do hereby revoke all former Wills
by me at any time heretofore made, and do make and declare this to be my
last Will and Testament. I desire to be decently buried in Barking
Church Yard, in the County of Essex, at the discretion of my Executors
hereinafter named. And I desire to have six men of the same trade that I
followed to attend my funeral, and to put my body into a boat, and to
convey the same to Barking aforesaid by water, and then to see the same
interred. And I give and bequeath to the said six men one guinea each,
and also a new apron, and a pair of gloves to each of them for their
trouble therein. I give and bequeath unto Thomas Dillow, of the Parish
of Broughing, in the County of Hertford, five pounds. I give and
bequeath to Thomas Wright, of the Parish of Standon, in the said County
of Hertford, five pounds. I give and bequeath to my Servant, Elizabeth
Richardson, five pounds, and a bed, in case she shall be living with me
at the time of my decease. I give and bequeath to the Treasurer of the
Charity School of the Parish of Saint John, Wapping, aforesaid, the sum
of five pounds, in trust, and for the sole use and benefit of the
Children belonging to the said School. I give and bequeath to the poor
of the Parish of Barking, aforesaid, the sum of two pounds, to be
distributed amongst them by the Church Wardens and Overseers of the said
Parish, in such manner as they shall think proper. I give and bequeath
to the Children of Blagrave Gregory the sum of one hundred pounds, to be
equally divided to and amongst them, share and share alike, and to be
paid to them by my Executors hereinafter named, when and so soon as they
shall respectively attain their ages of twenty-one years, or days of
marriage, which shall first happen; and in case any or either of them
shall happen to die before they shall attain their ages of twenty-one
years, or be married, then the share of him, her, or them, so dying,
shall be equally divided to and amongst the survivor or survivors of
them; and in case there shall be but one such Child who shall live to
attain the age of twenty-one years, or be married, then I give the said
one hundred pounds to such surviving Child. And as to all my money in
the public funds, goods, chattels, and all other the rest, residue, and
remainder of my personal Estate, of what nature or kind soever, which I
shall be possessed of, interested in, or entitled unto, at the time of my
decease, after payment of my just debts and funeral expences, I will,
order, and direct, that my Executors hereinafter named, and the Executors
and Administrators of the survivor of them, shall stand seized and
possessed of the same upon trust and confidence; nevertheless, to make
sale of any part of my goods and chattels, and to call in and receive
such parts of my said personal Estate as is now outstanding, and to
