Transcribed from the digital image of a typewritten copy found on Ancestry.com's "Massachusetts, Wills and Probate Records, 1635-1991" This is not an exact transcription as the lines do not all begin and end the same. I could not seem to accomplish that with Blogger.

Note: Son Kervin was known as Kieran and was said to have lived in Iowa at the time of his mother's death, just ten days after she signed this will. To my knowledge he never returned to Massachusetts. The only Teressa Mulvey I know of, was a granddaughter and not her niece.
