John Wild's will - written in 1805, proven in 1811

John Wild, son of John Wild and Mary Gidge, first married Sarah Andrews, daughter of William Andrews and Mary Over.  Sarah died quite a few years prior to the time this will was written.  By then he had married Mary Laishley and also had children with her.  In this will is mentioned Mary as well as the surviving children from both marriages, namely Sarah, John and William from his first marriage and Henry, Ann, James, Richard and George from his second marriage.  Some of the possessions he mentions are his cottage and premises, household goods, linen, china, money, and livestock.
