Her Father's Last Will and Testament

James Stewart of Floak, elder, merchant and burgess of Glasgow, made his last will and testament at his house in Glasgow on 10 January 1622. The witnesses present and subscribing were William Fleming, notary in Glasgow, the man who wrote the will, James Fleming, notary, indweller in Glasgow, and John Wallace, merchant burgess of Glasgow. He nominated and constituted his wife, Elizabeth Fleming, to be his only executrix and universal intromitter with his goods and gear, and as tutor testamentar to Susanna Stewart, Elizabeth Stewart, and Anna Stewart, his daughters. He left one third of the value of his goods and gear to his wife Elizabeth Fleming, which was to be divided equally between his three daughters in the event that their mother remarried.
