In the Name of God Amen I John Moylan of the City of Cork 
Merchant being now on the eve of my departure for England 
And aware of the uncertainty or my return Do make this my 
last Will and Testament Vizt. I give and bequeath to my 
dearly beloved Mary Moylan the entire of what Property I may 
be Possessed of be it in Money Goods Debts or Lands in 
confidence that she will dispose of it amongst my Children 
as she shall think most to their Advantage taking and 
reserving to her own use and benefit whatever part she may 
think proper And as it is my intention to give to David 
Andr� Esqr of London (as a small compensation for the heavy 
loss formerly sustained by me and my Brother) the Sum of 
five hundred pounds English Money Provided I can accomplish 
so much during my Stay in England I recommend to my Wife in 
case I should not be able to fulfil this my intention to pay 
him whatever there may be deficient of the said Sum of five 
hundred pounds English Money And I  regret that it is not in 
my power to afford him greater Assistance I recommend most 
earnestly to my Children if it should be the will of God to 
grant them Affluence hereafter to Pay the remainder of the 
debt due to Mr Andr� my obligations to him and his father 
were great and essential And they have been heavy sufferers 
by me in consequence of their unbounded confidence I 
therefore recommend most earnestly to them never to lose 
sight of this my most earnest recommendation I lament that I 
have it not in my power to leave my Children in better 
circumstances but my own misfortunes were great and heavy 
for a number of Years And it was only within these last 
three Years that it pleased God to give me some little 
success I recommend to my Children to be dutiful and 
respectful to their Mother to follow her advice on all 
Occasions And to live united & Affectionate to each other by 
so doing they will merit the Grace of God and the esteem and 
good opinion of the World I nominate constitute and appoint 
my dear Wife as sole Executor dated June 28th 1797 seven
