Hathorn's to be Sara Gott's; the housing, ten acre lot and appurtenanc, after the widow's decease, to be for the use of the ministry in Beverly forever; that the debts and legacies were to be paid, and the lands and meadows expressed in the inventory, being understood to be the lands in the woods, after the decease of the widow, were to be given to Ellenor, wife of Mr. Eze. Cheevers and her heirs; the rest of the estate to be sold for the benefit and disposal of the said Bethia.
