  • Can you read this will fragment

    This is part of a will written in 1760. It comes towards the end of an inventory and the previous line reads "Watch ready Money, Sums of Money due and owing to me And all"

    and then this fragment followed by "I shall dye possessed of interested in or in any way entitled to" it appears to read "other ????state that" but I cn't make any sense of it

    I'm not very good at deciphering old handwriting, but could it be "other the Estate" with a capital E?

    No other ideas, sorry :(

      Felix I think that could be right. I have checked through the rest of the script and there are two capital E's beginning the words Executor and they have a very similar shape. To me the wording with "the" seems od but maybe that was the way then. Thank you
