    "… Moreover I give and bequeath to my said son Caleb the whole of all my second division land & in any other divisions that shall of right belong to me according to bounds & quantity entered in the town records, he my said son paying to my daughter Mary Curtis the full & just sum of five pounds as a legacy at or before the end of twelve months after my decease and probation of this my will."

  5. Jacobus was apparently convinced of the identity of Thomas Curtis's wife. There may have been something in addition to Nathaniel Merriman's will, possibly a receipt from Thomas Curtis to Caleb Merriman for the £5 legacy to "Mary Curtis," but the language of Nathaniel's will appears adequate for the identification.
