CODICIL
If, when accounts are settled between daughter Catherine’s husband, William Jane,
and testator’s wife and executrix, Ann Johns, anything should be owing to testator,
his widow is not to take it. This is because, before the making of the will, he had
already determined to give this money to his daughter Catherine.
