This
is the last will and testament of me John Fielden of Bottomley in
Walsden in the Parish of Rochdale and County of Lancaster, yeoman,
as follows.
First
I will that all my just debts, funeral expenses and the incidental
expenses upon the probate and execution of this my last will be
all only paid and discharged, and I do give bequeath and devise
all the rest and remainder of my estate and effects both real and
personal of every denomination whatsoever unto my trusty friends,
Barnes Fielden of that part of Todmorden lying in the County of
York, shop keeper, and James Scholfield of that part of Todmorden
lying in the County of Lancaster, joiner, to hold to them and the
survivor of them in Trust always that they or the survivor of them
or the heirs, executors or administrators of the survivor of them
do and shall sell and convert all and every part thereof into money
as soon after my death as convenience will admit for the best price
that can be fairly obtained for the same, and that their receipt
for the purchase money shall be agreed and discharged to the purchaser
for the same.
And
that they do and shall pay out of the money raised all my just debts,
funeral and all other necessary expenses and then divide the remainder
of the money in equal shares amongst and between my children, namely:
John, Mally, Betty, Hannah, Sally and Martha, share and share alike.
And
I nominate and appoint them the said Barnes Fielden and James Scholfield
joint executors of this my last will and testament, revoking and
making void all former wills by me made. And that they shall not
be answerable for the acts or neglects of one another, but each
one for his own acts and neglects.
In
witness whereof I put my hand and seal this twenty eighth day of
February in the Year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and
twenty two.
