    I, John Pitkin, being weak of body but sound of mind and memory, do make this my last will and testament: I give to my honoured mother 20 shillings a year during her natural life, to be paid her by my brothers Roger, William, Nathaniel and Ozias. I give to Mr. Samuel Woodbridge £5 in current country pay if he shall be ordained and settled in the work of the ministry on the east side of the Great River in the Township of Hartford. I give to my brother William Pitkin one piece of meadow land which I bought of Richard Burnham, lying in Podunk Meadow, in the Township of Windsor, about 2 acres; also, one piece of upland near his dwelling house in the homelot which I had out of the estate of brother George, decd., it being in consideration of the many kindnesses I have received from him and upon the accompt of my entertainment; this, together with what I have paid him, to be in full satisfaction of the accompt above mentioned, if he please to accept it. I give to my sister Hannah Cowles (including her now husband) £20. I give to my sister Elizabeth Marsh (including her now husband) £20. I give unto my brothers, Roger Pitkin, William Pitkin, Nathaniel Pitkin and Ozias Pitkin, all the remainder of my estate, both real and personal, to be equally divided between them. And I appoint my brothers Roger Pitkin and William Pitkin to be executors.
