In the name of God, Amen. I, JAMES HORTON, of Southold, in Suffolk County, being infirm in body. I leave to my wife Anne the use of my house and lands during her life, or so long as she remains my widow, and 1/8 of all the grain yearly, and firewood, and all movables, except what I leave to my daughter Abigail. I leave to my eldest son James my house and land where my son Barnabas now dwells, and one right in the Manor which I bought of Major Smith. Also a lot on Hog Neck, lying between Mr. Budd's land and my meadow, and to run as far west as the gutter that runs out of the Broad Swamp. Also a strip of land that I bought of Ezra Reeve, joining to land I gave him before. And 1/2 of a right on Shelter Island, and 2 lots of upland at the foot of Brushes hill, joining the Cories land. Also a horse and yoke of oxen, and 1/4 of my grain, and my husbandry implements. I leave to my son Barnabas all my other lands and meadows, with the housing, where I now dwell, and a right on Shelter Island.
