(Widow) Estate and LandHer husband's will confirmed that since his marriage with his dear wife Mary Bell alias Branagan he, by marriage settlement, conveyed to trustees therein named the lands of Killynure then and still held by him under a lease of three lives renewable forever made to his father John Bell deceased by Francis White also deceased and stated his desire that the said lands shall ensue to trusts of said deeds particularly mentioned.

To his eldest son Richard Bell he bequeathed the customs of the town of Redhills in County Cavan and also the lands of Altreagh, County Cavan which leases he held by three lives renewable forever, made by the said Francis White. And also to Richard he gave his lands of Shane in County Monaghan. To his wife Mary he gave one of his best horses, the furniture of her room and other furniture she may wish. That part of the lands of Gortaquill, County Cavan purchased by him from John Buntell, gentleman, he bequeathed to his second son George Bell.

To his natural and illegitimate son John Bell, he bequeathed £40 to be paid him by his, the testator's son George. He bequeathed £5 to the poor of the parish of Anna, also to be paid by his son George.

Should his son Richard die unmarried and without issue, the lands of Killynure, the customs of Redhills aforesaid and also the lands of Altreagh shall revert to his son George, and if George dies unmarried and without issue, the said lands of Gortaquill, Carrigan, Clonumphry, "Sallcony", Killybandrick and Finternagh to his son Richard.
