    Barbour, Ruth, Windsor. Invt. £84-10-06. Taken 30 November, 1731, by Nathaniel Drake, John Cook, Jr., and Henry Allyn. Will dated 13 November, 1716.

    I, Ruth Barbour of Windsor, thought it best to make this my last will and testament: After my just debts and funerall expenses are paid, my will is that what is wanting of my son Benjamin and John Barbour's portion, and also of Sarah Barbour's portion, according to their father Samuel Barbour's last will, shall be made up to each of them out of my estate. Further, I freely release my son Joseph Barbour from that 20 shillings per annum that he was to pay unto me by his Father Barbour's will. I fully discharge my son Benjamin Barbour from paying for his dyet while he has been with me, provided he demand nothing of my executors for what work he has done for me, nor for the corn or meat I have had of him. I give to my son John Barbour my mare and a steer, and all my right in the oxen that sd. Joseph Barbour bought of Josiah Barbour, and also hay to keep them this winter. I give to my daughter Sarah my best bed and furniture, also a pig and four bushels of corne and two of rye. I give to my son-in-law, Samuel Barbour, 20 shillings in money besides what he owes me. I give to my grandson, William Barbour, 5 shillings in money. Lastly, my will is that the remainder of my whole estate be divided to and among my children hereafter named, in equal shares, viz., to David Barbour, Joseph Barbour, Benjamin Barbour, John Barbour, Mary Brown, Ruth Phelps, Elizabeth Loomis and Sarah Barbour. I make my son Joseph Barbour sole executor.
