RICHARD GODDARD`S WILL.         Even after having sight of the original document I was still unable to fully transcribe the text as some of the lettering proved extremely difficult to interpret. Unfortunately this has meant that I have been obliged to omit certain key words, but I considered it worth printing out anyway.

This is a photo copy of Richard Goddards Will dated 14Th. January 1736. Richard was to die six days later.
