Isaac DALE, being first sworn, saith an oath that he is now, as he is informed, in the 17th year of his age and being at the house of Peter GOAD on Wednesday the 18th day of the current September month where Joan
MILLER had resided about five months and then and there lying sick but in perfect sense, he heard Alice FOWLER ask the said Joan MILLER if she wanted Peter GOAD or any other person sent for to settle her business; she answered she
wanted nobody sent for. The said Alice FOWLER asked her if she wanted to speak to anybody to say ( if they would surely...tell them.) She said she did not want to speak to any other person but to those who were present and
then said she gave to Anne GOAD her hat and callico petticoat and all the chest of her things to be eq. div. between the said Alice FOWLER, Anne GOAD, and Frances DALE if she died in that sickness and that she had enough money to
bury her; upon which the said Isaac DALE, this deponent, was called as an evidence and the words repeated to her, the said Joan MILLER, upon which she answered they were and upon the 21st day of the same month she died at the said
Peter GOAD's house |
