I doe giue to my wife and sonne Thomas, the one halfe of my howse and halfe of my barne and halfe of my howse lott : I doe also giue vnto them my two lotts in the North meadow, and my lott in the litle meadow, as also the swamps at both ends : I doe in like manner giue vnto them all my corne in my howse and barns, both here at Hartford and at Tunxis Cepus, as also two Cowes and my two elder steers and fiue hoggs, wth halfe my howshold stuffe : I doe also giue them my Carts and ploughs and

the tacklin belonging to the. And my mynd is that if my sonne Tho: depart this life before my wife, at his death that the one halfe of the meadow, catle and howshold stuffe before giuen to him and my wife, shalbe equally diuided betwixt my other chil- dren then liuing ; and my mynd is that my wife shall haue power at her death to dispose of and give away the other halfe of that wch is giuen to her and my sonne as shee seeth fitt, ex- cept my howseing and land, wch my mind is shall then com to the rest of my children, at the death of the longest liuer of my wife or my sonne Thomas. I doe also make my wife execu- trixe to receive and pay my debts ; and my mynd is that my youngest daughter doe remayne wth my wife so long as shee seeth meete, wth the advice of those that ouersee my will. My mind also is, that all my daughters be disposed of, both in sear- uice and mariedge, by my wife and ouerseers, and that my daughters shall receaue their portions, ether at the day of their mariedge or at twenty yeares of age, wch shall first happen, my mynd being that all the remaynder of my estate wch is not by this my will giuen to my wife and sonne Thomas, (after my debts are discharged,) shall be equally divided among them.
The sume and substance of this was exprssed by Tho: Scott aforesaid in the prsence of vs.
But before he had named the ouerseers of his will, the Lo: pleased to put an end to his life and pruented him in that and what els he would haue said, and therefore the Relict of the said Thomas wth the apprbacon of the Court hath desiered John Talcott, Wm: Westwood, Ed: Stebbing and Andrew Warner to assist in seeing the Will of the dead prformed. And these Ouerseers, vnderstanding frö these that are the witnesses of his will, that he often expressed that his mynd was his wife and sonne Thomas should be comfortably pruided for, and finding that no pruission is made for fuell or fireing, doe thinke fitt and very agreable to the mynd of the deceased, though pruented by death fro exprsseing himselfe in that prticuler, wch yet they leaue to the consideration and confirmation of the Court, That the Widdow & Thomas should haue liberty to cutt & fetch fire-wood for their owne vse out of that field comonly cauled the Aduenturers field, vntill the other children, or some for

They also thinke fitt and agreable to the mynd of the deceased, that the boy searuant shall continue wth the Relict of the said Thomas, dureing his tyme. All wch they leaue to the consideration and confirmation of the Court, if they approue thereof.
