Page 62—13 December, 1682. This Court distributes the Estate of John Brooks as followeth: To the widow, £6 of the personal estate forever, and one third of the real estate during life. The remaynder of the Estate to be divided to the 6 Children of sd. Brookes, so that the eldest son have £10 more than the daughters. This is done because we find that the sayd Brookes, by a writing under his own hand, had so disposed of his estate that his son could not expect a double portion, though he had put no legal stamp upon sd. writing. The children to possess as they come of age. The administrators are to lay out to the widow her £6 in Beding & household goods, and to take care of the payment of the debts, & to put out the youngest daughter till she be of age; & when the debts are payd, the estate to be distributed.
