First I give and bequest to Michael Reilly my dearly beloved son, the two thirds of my Estate known as the West half of Lot no 18 in the eighth concession Maidstone, but he shall have no power of selling the aforesaid land, so that it may go to his heirs if he may have any, and if he should go away and not live on the land, the rest of the family to have the use of the land until such time as he should return and live on the land, also I give and bequeath to my dearly beloved wife the other third of the before said estate together with all my houses and barns, and all my horses and cattle together with all my mortal effects, unless thee cows, and the big mares colt, who I give to my well beloved daughter Elenor Reilly the aforesaid three cows and the big mare's colt.

Signed sealed published pronounced and declared by the said John Reilly as his last will and testament in the presence of us, who in his presence said in the presence of each other have hereto subscribed our names
Signed John McPharlin, Thomas Powers, Patrick (his mark) Reilly

Death:
In the register 1850 of L'Assomption Church in Sandwich is the record of the death of John Reilly. Partial transcription is as follows:
The 2 September 1850..... buried in the cemetery of this parish the corps of John Riley, spouse of Bridgette Heygen, died at the age of 50 years, passed away in this parish the 30 September last. Present Michel Riley, his son, Patrick Maguire and Patrick Riley who could not sign. Signed Patrick Maguire and Micheal Reilly.

I believe that the date of this record was incorrectly transcribed. It is between the baptism of Elisabeth Chardron on 30 Sep 1850 and the burial of Mary D. Cavanagh on 4 Oct 1850. I believe that he died on 30 Sep 1850 and was buried on 2 Oct 1850.
John Reilly wrote is last will and testament on 4 Sep 1850, so he was alive in 1849.

Will:
Which said last will and testament is witnessed by John McPharlin of the Township of Maidstone in the County of Essex in the Province of Canada, yeoman Thomas Powers of the same place yeoman and Patrick Rilly of the same also yeoman and this testimonial thereof is hereby required to be registered by me Bridget Rielly one of the devises mentioned in the said last will and testament and widow of the said testature? as witness my hand and seal this twenty sixth day of April in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty one.
