    Clarke, Daniel, Capt., Windsor. Invt. £95-00-08. Taken 8 September, 1710, by Matthew Allyn and John Moore, Sen. Will dated 31 August, 1709.

    The last will of Daniel Clarke, late of Windsor, deceased, is as followeth: I do will and dispose as followeth: In the first place, all my just debts and funeral charges to be paid. And whereas, I obliged to my now wife £40 to be paid her out of my estate in case she shall survive me, as will appear by an instrument to which I have signed and sealed, my will is that sd. sum be truly paid according to the tenor thereof in my engagement, in such estate as may conduce to her comfort, with £5 in provision as an addition to the sum aforementioned of £40. For the rest of my estate, my will is that my wearing apparel should be divided among my sons that shall be living to receive them. My will is that if the confirmation be obtained from Owaneco of the 100 acres he promised, which is laid out and bounded, and for which I have obtained the grant of the General Court, I do order that it be entirely sold, whereof 1-4 part of the product of it shall redound to my now wife* if she be living to receive. The other three parts shall be equally divided amongst my three daughters, Elizabeth, Mary and Sarah, or to their children if any of them do die before it be affected. I give to my son John the ox chain that he borrowed of me, and to my son Samuel my musket. I give to Johnny my best powder horn, and to my son Daniel I give my cutlass and my buff belt and buff coat. And I do hereby ratify and confirm those alienations that my sons have made of lands that I gave them. And to my wife, if she survive me, I order towards the sum aforementioned of £40 particularly the bed, bedsted and furniture that we used to lie on, and my best trunk with bars on the cover, and the lesser of the great kettles, with what she desires of pewter and other utensils in the house, to be valued according to the agreement. And to my son Jonas I give 10 shillings besides his proportion of my wearing apparrell. And I do constitute my son John Clarke and my son-in-law Roger Wolcott executors. And I desire my honored kinsman Col. Matthew Allyn (if God please to grant him a safe return) to be supervisor if need require.

Founders of Windsor, CT
Windsor was the first permanent English settlement in Connecticut. Local indians granted Plymouth settlers land at the confluence of the Farmington River and the west side of the Connecticut River, and Plymouth settlers (including Jonathan Brewster, son of William) built a trading post in 1633. But the bulk of the settlement came in 1635, when 60 or more people led by Reverend Warham arrived, having trekked overland from Dorchester, Massachusetts. Most had arrived in the New World five years earlier on the ship "Mary and John" from Plymouth, England. The settlement was first called Dorchester, and was renamed Windsor in 1637.
