I give to my daughters Elizabeth and Rebeckah, and to my granddaughter Eunice Drake, my lott that bounds north on the land of Thomas Stoughton and south on the land of Samuel Moore, to be divided amongst them share and share alike, saving only to my wife her legacy aforesd. I give to my daughter Rebeckah £25 out of my moveable estate, she to take it in household goods or in cattle. I give to my grandson Jonathan Drake my right, interest, share and part of a land called the Equivalent Land. I give to my son Jeremiah all my lands in Windsor not above disposed of, whether already divided or undivided, to him and his heirs forever. I give all my right, interest, share and part of the lands called the Western Lands to my daughter Elizabeth, my daughter Rebeckah, and son Jeremiah, and my granddaughter Eunice Drake forever, share and share alike. My will is that after the death of my wife Elizabeth, if any of my moveable estate shall be left not disposed of to pay my debts, that it shall be equally divided between my three children and my granddaughter Eunice Drake, each one to share alike. I appoint my son Jeremiah Drake and my son Joseph Rockwell to be executors.
