- Will of Lyman Parker
I, Lyman Parker of the town of Arcade in the county of Wyoming and State of New York, being of sound mind and memory, do make, ordain, publish, and declare this to be my last will and Testament. That is to say:
First- After all my lawful debts are paid and discharged, I give, devise and bequeath unto my wife, Mercy Parker, to be in lieu of dower, in case she survives me, on hundred dollars, to be paid one year after my death, and at the expiration of each year thereafter, the sum of on hundred dollars more for each of nine years. In case she shall live and remain unmarried for that length of time after my decease. This provision is made in order to carry out the conditions of a contract made by said Mercy and myself, previous to our marriage, date in the month of April 1876 and signed by her as Mercy Hitchcock and by myself.
Second- I give, devise and bequeath unto my son Philander H. Parker & my daughter Miranda P. Olmstead and Lucinda P. Lyman (they being all my children) all the rest and remainder of my real and personal estate of every name and nature whatsoever, to be distributed among them equally share and share alike.
Likewise, I make, constitute and appoint my son Philander H. Parker to be executor of this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by me made.
In witness hereof, I have, hereunto, subscribed my name and affixed my seal the ninth day of January in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy seven
