Haynes, Mr. Joseph, late Rev. Teacher of the 1st Church in Hartford. Invt. £2280-17-00. Exhibited in Court 4 December, 1679. Will dated 26 February, 1676.

I Joseph Haynes of Hartford, in the Colony of Connecticott, perceiving the Shaddows of the Evening to bee uppon mee, beeing weak in body but (____) true and good memory, Doe in the fear of God and in Obedience to wholsom Rules of Rightcousnes for the Setting of my house in order, make this my Last Will and disposition: In the first place, as the main matter, I do desire utterly to renounce myself and to have all my dependence uppon the sovereign mercy of God and the alone precious righteousness of the son of God, hopeing that though my sins have been before him, yet he will gratiously behold mee in the face of his Anointed. So also in the second place, I do thus dispose of what God hath gratiously given mee in manner and form as followeth: Whereas, by an ingagement made to my Loveing wife Sarah Haynes sometimes before our marriage, I did promise to make her a joynture of my Lands at Farmingtown, as also to give her three hundred pounds or the third part of my Estate, I doe by this my Will Joynture my said Loveing wife in all the rents and proffitts of the said Lands at Farmingtown during her natural life, as also my Will is that shee bee paid Three hundred pounds out of my other Estate, which three hundred pounds shall bee paid within two years after my decease, or within one year if my wife desire it. Also I do give unto my said Wife the use and all the benefitts of my whole Estate till my children come in age to receive their several portions, for the bringing upp and Education of my children. And I do make my said Wife Sole Executrix of this my Last will and Testament. Also my Will and mind is that when my son John Haynes hath Attained to the age of 23 years, or bee married, that my mansion house at Hartford, with the Barnes, out houses, homested garden and yards, together with all my little meadow before my house, as also all my Grass Ground and plow Land in the South meadow, together with my oxpasture which is inclosed, both pasture Land and plow Land, and my wood lott not farr off the oxpasture, as also all my right in that Land in the woods that Lately hath been laid out as is to bee seen in the town book, with all the rights and priviledges whatsoever to any of those Lands beforementioned do any wayes belong, to remain to him and his heirs for ever. Allso I give him all my books and manuscripts that any wayes concern Learneing, only my mind is that if my wife shall remain in her Widdowhood, that the Parlor and the Studdy shall bee for her dwelling, and all needful use of the Celler and Kitchen. My will further is that after the decease of my wife that my whole farme at ffarmingtowne with my pasture thereunto belonging, in the occupation of Thomas Nowell, together with all other priviledges of Land, divided or undivided, in the Precincts of that towne, bee divided equally between my two daughters Mabell Haynes and Sarah Haynes, to them and their heirs forever. Also I give all my undivided Lands and grants of Court to bee equally divided amongst my Children and their heirs forever. My mind also is that if my wife bee now with Child and that the Lord in mercy give the Life of it, that the £180 that was given by my mother Lord to my wife and her children as is thereby exprest in her Will, should bee to that child. I do also give to that child all my part of that Land that is in the hands of John Babcock, in narragansett, near Pacatuck. Also, if that redundant £40 mentioned in my mother Lord's Will do come, I do give that to this Child. And if by virtue of my mother Lord's will my other children doe receive or recover any part of the mony given by my said mother, then they shall each of them allow to this Child as much out of their portions each of them as they have out of the said mony bequeathed by my mother. My mind is that the £30 in mony of myne in the Hands of my Brother Mr. James Russell, and £20 in mony now in the house, be left in the hands of my wife, by her to be improved towards the bringing upp my son John in Learning (mainly abroad). I give unto my (only) sister Mrs. Ruth Willys £5, and to all her children 20s apeice. Also I give to each of the children of my sister Mrs. Mabel Russell 20s apeice. I give to my cousin Richard Lord, son of my Brother Richard Lord, fourty shillings. I desire that my honoured and my intimate friends, my Brother Mr. Samuel Willys, My Brother Mr. Richard Lord, and the Reverend Mr. Gershom Bulkeley, to be Supervisors of this my Last will & Testament, and doe order them thirty shillings apeice for their care and Love.

For the Establishing of all which I have hereunto put my hand and seal this 26 February, 1676.
