Person:Obediah Woods (1)

Will

I, Obadiah Wood of Hartford, do make this my last will and testament: I give to my son John Wood all that part of my estate that was formerly my father King's, which lyeth in the bounds of Windsor, 1-5 part of that estate that may fall to me in Old England. And to my four daughters, Mary, Martha, Abigail and Margaret, I give the remainder of that estate in England, to be equally divided between them. I give to my son Samuel £5 out of my moveable estate. I give my wife 1-3 part of my personal estate and real estate not above willed, the personal to be hers forever and the real during her natural life. I give my son Obadiah all that lot of land where my dwelling house stands, with my dwelling house, barn, and orchard, and also my interest in the Five Miles, and all the rest of my moveable estate not willed, to be him and his heirs forever. I appoint my wife sole executrix, and desire Daniel and Roger Pitkin to be overseers.
