Amos Stickney's Will

"'August 27, 1678. Bee it knowne unto all men by these presents, that I, Amos Stickney, of Newbury in the countie of Essex, N. E. (Massur?) being sicke and weake of body, but of perfect memory, do here make my last will and testament, comending and comitting my soule into the hands of my blessed Redeemer Jesus Christ; and my body unto the dust from whence it was taken, in hope and full assurance of a blessed resurrection; and for my worldly goods I dispose as followeth:—

Imp's. I give and bequeath unto Sarah my wife all my household goods with all my stocke, that is to say, my cattle, horses, sheep, and swyne, and also to have the house and land in her hands untill my son John shall be of the age of one and twenty years—and during her widowhood to have a roome in the house as long as she lives a widow. And I appoint her to be the sole executrix of this my last will and testament, and to discharge my debts and funerall.

2dly. I give to my son my houseing and land, all my meadow and freehold and privileges, to my son John when he shall be of the age of one and twenty years, as aforesaid. And my said son John shall pay out of the said land to every one of his brothers and sisters ten pounds within three years after each of them shall attaine to the said age of one and twenty years, in corne and cattell, as indifferent men shall judge. And if my said son John shall decease this life before he shall be of the aforesaid age, then I appoint my son Amos to have the said houseing and land when he shall attaine to the said age;— and to pay out of it to his brothers and sisters according as it is above mentioned, as his brother John should have done. And my said son John during his nonage I appoint that hee shall dwell with his mother to help her, and all the rest of my children to be at their mother's dispose; and my two daughters to have their portion paid them when they shall be of the age of twenty years; and if any of them shall dy before they come of the said age [The names of the children are John, Andrew, Amos, Joseph, Benjamin, Moses, Hannah and Sarah.], Then their said portions shall be equally divided amongst the rest of those that survive. And I desire my loveing brothers John Stickney and Andrew Stickney and Samuell Stickney to be the overseers of this my last will and testament.
