    I, Beriah Bacon of Middletown, do make this my last will and testament: I give to Anne, my wife, the 1-3 part of my moveable estate and the use of 1-3 of each parcel of land during life, and which room she shall choose in my dwelling house, with convenient sellering, during her life. I give to my eldest son, Beriah Bacon, my dwelling house and the lott it stands upon, which I bought of John Ranney, and 8 acres of my other half-mile lott which lyeth southward of the highway my house stands by, to be taken out of the north end, upon the east side, half the width of sd. lott; but and if that width cuts off all the brook towards the south part of the 8 acres, then it shall run so wide as to leave convenient watering in the remaining parts of sd. lott southward of the sd. 8 acres. This I give to my son Beriah and to his heirs forever. I give to my son Pierpont Bacon the remaining part of my aforesd. half-mile lott lying southerdly of the highway by my dwelling house. After his brother Beriah has had his 8 acres, the remaining part I give to my son Pierpont and to his heirs forever. I give the remainder of all my lands and moveable estate to be divided equally amongst all my children, sons and daughters, each one an equal share. I make my wife, Anne Bacon, sole executrix.
