IN THE NAME OF GOD AMEN:
This the twenty-sixth day of Nov. in the year of our Lord 1715, George Burson, in Gilbert's Manor in the County of Philadelphia and Province of Pennsylvania, yeoman, being very weak in body but of perfect mind and memory thanks be given unto God. Therefore, calling unto mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men to die do make and ordain this, my last Will and
Testament. That is to say principally and first of all I give and return my soul unto the hands of God that give it and for my body , I return it to the earth to be buried in a Christian-like and decent manner at the discretion of my Executors. Nothing doubting but at general Resurrection I shall receive the same again by the mighty power of God. And as touching such worldly Estate wherewith it hath pleased God to bless me with in this life I give, devise and dispose of the same in the following manner and form.
IMPRIMIS, I give and bequeath to Hannah, my dearly beloved wife all the movables to be used upon the plantation as long as they keep together with all privileges within doors and without doors, as if I was there, myself, having authority over my children as long as she remains my widow. Likewise, one hundred acres of land upon the upper part of the Estate for her lifetime uncultivated land for her proper use.
