They joined the ch. in Hadlyme May 18, 1752, when she was bap. and was called 72 years old. He d. at HL. June 19, 1754, according to his gravestone, while the ch. record says June 20, in his 83d year, which seems to be an exaggeration of his age. Sales of land to his son Allen in 1727, and to his son John in 1752, of his house lot, with house and 12 acres, are recorded. Grants of land were made to him in 1727 and 1750, when he was described as "Serg't John Willey." Administration of his estate was granted, Aug. 6, 1754, to Joseph Willey. It amounted to £139 11, and it appeared that his sons had received their shares in his lifetime, and the right in the undivided land was distributed among the eight daughters.
