DAY, John, Hartford. Invt.
£820-18-10. Taken 29 April, 1730, by Joseph Barnard, Ozias
Goodwin and Samuel Edwards. Will dated 16 November, 1725.
I, John Day of Hartford, do make this my last will and
testament: I give to my wife two cowes, with a full 1-3 part of the
remainder of my moveable estate, as also all my right in the mill;
and after her decease I give it to my son William and his heirs.
I give to my son John Day 40 shillings, to be paid out of my
weaving tackling. I do confirm to my several sons the deeds of
gift I have formerly made to them of my lands, to them and their
heirs. I give to my son William and to his heirs my 3 acre
lott in the Long Meadow. I give to my son Joseph my loom with
all the appurtenances thereto belonging. All the rest of my
moveable estate not before given I give to my daughters, equally to
be divided among them, only my daughter Sarah shall have the value
of £4 more in them than either of her sisters. And I appoint
my wife Sarah to be sole executrix.
It being before omitted, I add: I give to my wife
the use of 1-2 of my house during her widowhood, and 1-2 the cellar,
the houseing to be on the south part.
Signed and sealed and declared in presence of JOHN DAY,
LS.
