[Source: S2] Will Book, p. 518.--In the name of God, Amen, this 19 of December, 1723. I, RICHARD VALENTINE, of Hempstead in Queens County, yeoman, "being ancient in years, and weak of body." I leave to my wife Sarah, one third of my movable estate, and one of my beds, and the use of the great brass kettle that came from her father's, and 12 bushels of wheat, and 12 bushels of Indian corn yearly, and all the firewood she needs. Also pasturage for 6 cows, and 10 sheep. And the use of one end of my dwelling house, which end she shall choose. I leave to my eldest son Richard, 100 acres of land on the east side of Hempstead Harbour, "with right to make good, if any disturbance happens in division of Town." Also a lot of salt meadow at Newbridge. I leave to my cousin, Phebe Waters, if she tarry in my family till she is eighteen, £10. I leave to my son, Jonathan, my dwelling house and barn. He is to have one end of the house now, and the other after the death of my wife. Also a lot of meadow at Newbridge. I leave to my sons, David and Jonathan, the rest of my lotted lands, in Hempsted, on the north side of the Great Plains and elsewhere, and my upland at Rockaway. I leave to my sons, Richard and Jonathan, all my Proprietor and Patent rights in Hempstead. I leave the rest of my personal property to my daughters, Sarah Smith, Phebe Downing, Anne Carle and Hannah Pine. Witnesses, Jacob Valentine, Samuel Mott, William Willis. Proved, November 20, 1725.
