Grandchildren of Testator's Sisters Contest Estate in 18th Century Will
The document lists named grandchildren and spouses from Murray, Beers, McQuillin, and Quillin families in Down Antrim and Belfast as potential heirs. It directs those living on September 29 to claim before November 1 under threat of exclusion from the will, with notices to London and Dublin attorneys and merchants. A long ledger of prices and goods follows, listing markets, foods, and commodities with varied rates, printed in Dublin by John Gowan on Back-Lane.
