I, Samuel Tredwell, of the town of Rye, in Westchester County, being very sick. I leave to my wife Margaret, £600, and a negro man and girl, and my sorrel horse and side saddle, and the use of all houses and lands for her support and bringing up of the children, until my son Samuel is of age and after that the use of one third. I leave to my eldest daughter, Gloriana, a negro boy, horse and saddle, and to my youngest daughter Mary, a negro girl. I leave to my son Samuel all houses and lands, and £100. Whereas my uncle, John Tredwell, of Hempstead, in hie will gave me two parcels of land, as may appear, my executors are to sell the same, and the proceeds to be divided among my 3 daughters, Glonana, Margaret, and Mary, when they are 18 years old or married. I make my wife Margaret, and my brother, Benjamin Tredwell, and my brother-in-law, John Thomas, executors.
