"When we examine the will of John² Miles [New Haven Probate, 3:40 f.], made 28 Nov. 1700, proved 16 Nov. 1704, we find (again disregarding daughters, who were named in the will) that he provided well for the children of his second wife, whom he made sole executrix, cutting off Richard [the second son by his first wife] with five acres, and leaving the rest of his realty to his sons Daniel and Joseph (his second wife's sons], As for his 'eldest son John Miles,' he left him '£10 within Twelve months after this my will be proved and demand of the same which in Addition to what he hath alread[y] received is to be in ffull of his portion.' Considering the appraised value of the estate, over £578, this was an unusually small provision for an eldest son."
