Goldie, thanks so much for what you have been able to help me read from the will.
I am working on a family tree of the Lynas family and  I am most interested in the various family names that are in this will.   One  name you uncovered for me was Alice Stonas  a daughter of the Margaret Lynas.   I  will now search out this name  as I thought in my working on this tree that Alice married someone else. 
  Again I am most appreciate  of your  help.
   Thank you.
