Also I give unto her the improvement and use of my dwelling house which I now dwell in, and the yard before the doore to the highway, and the garden southward of the house, and liberty to fetch water from the well, and the rent of all my lands in Hartford; these I give to her for her comfort during her natural life. And I do hereby prohibit her receiving any tenant into my dwelling house without the consent or liberty of my son John Bacon. I give unto my daughter Sarah 1-2 of my brass kettle and all the pewter ware which I now have which did belong to her mother, my former wife Sarah. Also I give unto her all my Wongunk swamp which lies against the end of the meadow of her husband Nathaniel Brown. I do hereby order my son John Bacon to pay to my sd. daughter £10 out of my moveable estate. All this I give to my sd. daughter and to her heirs forever.
