    Benjamin Newbery, being of sound understanding and memory, being about to undertake a journey toward Canada, not knowing how Providence may dispose of him, hath left this as his last will and testament: I give to my loving brother Joseph Newbery all my land, both meadow and upland, with the crop that now stands upon it, to be his and his heirs forever; and I give him also my horse now in the woods and my saddle and bridle and other horse furniture, and all my wearing clothes, both woolen and linen, provided that he pay my debts and other legacies. I give to my sister Hannah Wolcott £40. I give to my little Cosin Hannah Woolcot £20, to be paid by my executor to her when she shall arrive at the age of 18 years. I constitute my brother Joseph Newbery executor.
