Left to two sons John Pettit and Paul Pettit and two daughters Sarah Ticknor and Anne Curling, equally to be divided between them except for one quarter part of his moiety or half part of and in a certain messuage, farm and lands called Dandelyon. This to be left to Mary, the wife of my son John during her natural life, if she continues his widow. If she remarries I give the quarter part to my grandaughter Sarah Pettit, daughter of my son John and to the heirs of her body lawfully begotten. If both my sons should be dead at my decease which is very much feared they being both in one ship in a voyage at sea, which ship has not been heard of lately, then everything to my daughters apart from Dandelyon which still goes to Mary.
Proved at Canterbury 15 October 1723 by Sarah Ticknor and Anne Curling, executrix.
(Notes on side of will state both sons were dead at testators decease, and Mary is since married to John Dunkin.
Dentdelion, or Dandelyon, Margate
