NOTE:
The following is the transcription of The Neill McInnis Will.  It has been 
transcribed exactly as it was written.  There are many words that are not 
spelled correctly and the writer spells  Neill and McInnis different ways.  
As far back as the mid 1800's it was spelled McInnis in my family line, however 
I am aware that some spelled it McInnes.
