[Note: neither this source, nor Source:Caulkins, Frances Manwaring. History of New London, Connecticut (1895), p. 328, which mentions this will in slightly less detail, connects it to John Lamb of Braintree. But the details of the family are sufficient to make the connection: a first wife with four daughters, a current wife named Lydia, a son John and Joseph, the latter being underage. The details of the will add that there was a son named David, obviously younger than Joseph, not found in Braintree records and one other daughter besides the Jemima and Sarah found in the Braintree records that belonged to Lydia.]
