    The last will and testament of Nathaniel Bissell is as followeth: I give to my wife her choice of any two rooms in my house, or to live with David; also furniture. Also, I give her £6 yearly to be paid by my sons Jonathan and David equally. I give to my son Jonathan my housing and barns and ten roods on the north side of my lot to the trench at the foot of the hill, and the rest of my cow pasture, for which Jonathan is to pay £20. I give to my son David half the lower lot from the Great River to that which he has already, on the lower side of the lot. I give to my three eldest daughters £20 apeice, to wit, Mindwell, Abigail and Elizabeth; and I give to my three youngest daughters £60 apiece, to wit, Dorothy, Anne and Mary. I give to my son Jonathan's son Jonathan, if he live to come to the age of 21 years, the Neck (of land). Further, I give to my daughter Hannah Bancroft's six children 20s apiece. I desire Mr. Roger Wolcott, Job Drake and Matthew Grant to be overseers to see this my will performed in Case any difference should arise between my executors, that any of them should determine it that so no law suits may be attained by either of them.
