I Joseph Mygatt of Hartford do make this my last Will & Testament: Whereas, in a Writing bearing date 27 November, 1654, I have already engaged the manner of a dispose of my Estate after my Death, I do now for the substance thereof fully consent thereunto, only some things mentioned needing some explication I thought good to mention, 1st, that I have already paid the marriage portion for my son Jacob as is expressed in the Agreement, & have built a house for him of more value than was promised, & have truly fulfilled that first particularly. 2nd, Whereas it is mentioned in the Agreement with Mrs. Susannah Fitch, & the Trustees in behalf of her Brother, that the Estate by her should be let out to procure a farm, that it might have been so but they conceived that it might be more advantageous to adventure the Money abroad, being at that time in a way of Trade, the which with their desire I consented too,—these things being confiscated, I do dispose of my whole Estate as is there mentioned, only my Mind is that in Case the £12 be not paid to my wife (as is expressed), that so much of my Lands be sold (that may best be spared) as may enable the true performance of the yearly Annuity willed to her during her natural life. I give unto Joseph Deming, my gr. son, all my Wearing apparrel. I appoint my gr. child Joseph Mygatt to be my Executor. I desire my friend Paul Peck sen. and my son John Deming to be Overseers.
