maid & gevin up be his [       ] [as his] latterwill
& testament of ye daite under[written?] mair fullie [    ]

                           Inventar

Hi there. Many thanks, this is very useful (and very impressive). Would you be willing to look at the rest of the pages if I was able to send them to you by email or using wesend.com? I don't really need a full translation. I just want to find out which family members John Campbell mentioned in his will and any information about them, e.g. their relationship to him (and others) and where they lived. Thanks again, Ian
