Nov. 21, 1762; by his will, made June 20, 1755, he gave to the poor of Dfd. and Salem, froo, for the benefit of "such as do not receive aid from the towns;" to the chh. in Salem £60, in Dfd. froo, in Gfd. £40, these sums to be "in plate, which is not to be divided with any that may in after times go off from either of them." He gave to other parties, in cash, £386, and life annuities to the amount of £85; gave 400 acres of land towards an academy, "which is proposed to be set up in Hadley or some other town ;" 1935 acres more are divided among his nephews. But the bulk of his real estate in the Ct. Valley, which included the "Willard home- stead," he gave to his nephew Joseph, s. of Ebenezer, "to be to him during his life, and after his decease to his son Samuel, and to the heirs male of his body, lawfully begotten forever." All his "lands, buildings and wharfs in Salem and Danvers," he gave to the same Joseph, "during his life, and after his decease to his son Ebenezer, and to his heirs;" in default of heirs this goes to "Samuel, his broth- er, and to his heirs and assigns forever;" provision was made in case of the failure of the proposed scheme for an academy, and the fail- ure of legal heirs of Samuel, that a large amount be used for the "conversion of the heathen, particularly those called the Six Na- tions." To prepare the boys thus selected to found a grand heredi- tary landed gentry they were at once sent to H. C., where they were graduated in 1766-Ebenezer, 21, studied medicine; Samuel, 19, studied law; what became of the large Essex Co. estate does not appear, but Dr. Ebenezer died insolvent, 1791; the broad meadows and great tracts of wild land left "Lawyer Sam," had nearly or quite melted away at his removal to Vermont, in 1795; the idea of earn- ing or saving was prob. no part of their education, and this finan- cial result followed as a matter of course; Samuel m. at Roxbury, May 22, 1718, Sarah Williams; she d. at Dfd., Aug. 4, 1720; (2) May 29,
