McCotter
In the name of God amen. I Garrett McCotter
of the town of Augusta, County of Oneida and State of New York being of
sound mind and memory and considering the
uncertainty of this past and transitory life - do therefore make, ordain,
publish and declare this to be my last Will
and Testament. That is to say, after all my lawful debts are paid and
discharged I give and bequeath to my wife
Mary McCotter all my real and personal estate. Likewise, I make, constitute
and appoint John McMillen of the town of
Augusta, County of Oneida, and State of New York to be Executor
of this, my last Will and Testament hereby
revoking all former Wills by me made. In witness whereof I have hereunto
subscribed my name and affixed my seal the sixth day of January in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty two.
