In it, she gives to her nephew Edward Robinson Jr. “my Father's 'Class Ring' and the 'Phi Beta Kappa' watch key formerly belonging to my brother William” [1784-1804]. These items are still in the possession of the Robinson family in New Jersey, along with several other items mentioned in this abstract. A copy of a final agreement concerning the dispersal of Elisabeth's estate is also provided (no date). Included in the agreement is a list of the then known heirs and the places wherein they resided.
