    The 26th day of April, 1733, I, Joshua Gill of Middletown, in ye County of Hartford, do make this my last will and testament: Imprimis. I give to my wife Ann all that part of the moveable estate which she brought with her, or the value of it, and likewise 3-4 of the remainder of all my moveable estate. This I give to my wife and her heirs forever. And further, I give to my wife the use of my dwelling house and land or the land adjoining thereto down to the Pond, and all my other improved lands except 1-3 part of my mowing land which lyeth within Pecowsit Field. This I give to my wife so long as she lives a widow bearing my name. My will is that my executors shall sell that piece of land which I have now lying in the Half-Mile Lott on the east side of the Great River, adjoining to Lt. Savage and John Hale's land, as soon as may be, and the effects of it to be laid out in building a little house, or repairing the house I now live in, for the comfort of my wife if she think needful, and she to have the use of it so long as she remains a widow. Further, I give to my wife £5 money yearly, to be paid to her, so long as she lives a widow, by my executor, and lands to be sold as is needful to provide the sd. £5 yearly. I give to my brother Richard Gill, after my wife has had her part of my moveable estate, the remaining part. This I give to my brother Richard and his heirs forever. And further, I give to my brother Richard the use of 1-3 part of all my mowing land lying within Pecowsit Field, so long as my wife lives. I give to my two brothers, Richard Gill and Ebenezer Gill, after my wife's decease or marriage, what then remains of my buildings or lands, howsoever it may be butted and bound, I give the whole of it to be divided, my brother Richard 2-3 of it, and to my brother Ebenezer the remaining third. This I give to my 2 brothers, Richard and Ebenezer, and their heirs forever. And I make Deacon Joseph White and my brother Ebenezer Gill to be executors.
