NOTE: This will is intriguing to the Jackson/Brown family history (and others) because of the strength of the links between cousins in the early and mid-1800s.
I also suspect that Eliza is the end of the family line coming down from William Donaldson, a line which is of interest to ours for both social and inheritance reasons rather than for reasons of direct descendancy.

[June 3^rd, 1851.]

In the Name of God Amen, I Eliza Donaldson [1] of number four Lower Rutland Street in the City of Dublin Spinster being weak in health but sound in mind and of disposing memory and understanding do hereby make and publish this last will and testament hereby revoking all former wills by me previously made. In the first place it is my will that all the property of every kind which I may die possessed shall belong to and become the property of my dear Mother [2] should she survive me, absolutely for her own use notwithstanding the subsequent bequests herein mentioned which I only make to provide for the due distribution of my property in case my beloved Mother should depart this life before me in which case and partly on account of which death I will have a disposing power over one thousand and fifty pounds. I bequeath to my Aunt Margaret Bradford [3] one hundred pounds. To my cousin Eliza Jackson [4] otherwise Oliver I leave three hundred pounds for her sole use and benefit free from the power or control of her husband and to be given to her at such time and manner as her brother Thomas [5] and her sister Mary Jane Oliver [6] shall consider most judicious for herself and family. I bequeath to the said Mary Jane Oliver two hundred pounds. I leave to my cousins Anne Jane and Sarah Birch Quinn [7] the sum of fifty pounds each. To my cousin Sarah Smith [8] daughter of the late Jane Orr [9] I bequeath twenty-five pounds, but if the said Sarah Smith should die before this will takes effect in law it is my wish  that her twenty-five pounds be divided equally between the said Anne Jane and Sarah Birch Quinn. To Mrs. Robert Wyon [10] I bequeath fifty pounds as a small token of my Christian love and esteem. To my friend William Tough [11] I leave twenty five pounds and to his daughter Margaret Carson Tough [12] I leave my piano and stool. To my friend Andrew McCormick [13] of Ballibay I bequeath twenty five pounds. I bequeath to Messrs Tough Wilson [14] and Redmond [15] the sum of fifty pounds in trust for the use of the ragged school in Lurgan Street to be applied as the said Trustees or a majority of them may think best for its usefulness. To my Sister in the Lord Mrs. Wardlaw [16] I leave twenty five pounds. I bequeath to the Misses Collins [17] Jemima and Sarah in whose house I at present reside the sum of ten pounds each. To my much esteemed friends and sisters in the Lord, Mrs. Burke [18] Mrs. Telford [19] Mrs Creighton [20] Mrs. Love [21] Misses Fry [22] and Martha Reilly [23] I leave five pounds each as a slight mark of my regard. To my brother in Christ John Lord I leave five pounds and to my old and faithful servant Margaret McCullagh [24] now Coulter [25] I leave ten pounds. To my kind old friend James Healy [26] I leave twenty five pounds but if both Mr. & Mrs. Healy should depart this life before me it is my wish that my Executors shall apply the twenty five pounds bequeathed to Mr. Healy to the schools and Churches mentioned in the Evangelical Christendom. I leave and bequeath all other money and property of which I may die possessed to the aforesaid Mary Jane Oliver whom I appoint my Residuary Legatee and I nominate the said Mary Jane Oliver and my kind friend William Tough Joint Executors to this my last Will and Testament ====== Eliza Donaldson ====== Signed published and declared as for her last will and testament by the said Eliza Donaldson in the presence of the following Witnesses who in her presence and in presence of each other have hereunto signed their names this 31^st day of December 1850 as witnesses thereto John Blythe [27] ======= J.C.L.
