    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.

    JOHN DAY, LS.
