Will of Elizabeth Bower of Crabtree in the Parish of Fulham
dated 1 February 1813

My Interpretation

The handwriting is difficult to read but details appear to include:

1. Household, furniture, china etc to daughter Mary Bower

2. In Trust stock equally to daughters Sarah White and Mary Bower

3. Money, goods, chattels and estate to:

- Sarah White
- William Bower
- Christopher Bower and
- Mary Bower

4. (my eldest son George Bower* provided for)

5. My son William Bower sole executor

6. Will Proved 12 September 1820

* words after George Bower's name appear to be "Garring born"
