His God daughter Sarah Peter spinster was to recieve only five pounds and his God daughter Anna Maria Peter dr of Henry Peter likewise five pounds.

The money now allowed in trust for Rebecca Kendall was increased to Two hundred pounds to be divided equally between her children and paid from the several estates devised to Henry Peter Esq. within three months of him taking possession.
