I give to my daughter, Susannah Porter, £20. I give to my son Samuel Bull and his heirs my lott in Farmington in the division of land southward from the Town between the mountains. And it is my will that if he die without issue, then the said lott shall return unto my two sons, Jonathan and David Bull, and to their heirs in equal proportion. I give to my son Samuel Bull my negro man named Taylor, reserving to my wife her right in him, I give and bequeath unto my son Jonathan Bull all my lands in Hartford bounds, and my lott in Farmington that lyeth in a division of land against Hartford bounds, and my lott in Farmington bounds lying in a division of lands against Wethersfield bounds. I give to my daughter Sarah Bull £60.
