    I, John Woodruff of Kensington, in the County of Hartford and Colony of Connecticut, do make this my last will and testament: I give to my wife the bed which was hers before we were married, and all the furniture now belonging to it; also the iron pot and iron kettle, and tramel, tongs and peal, two pewter platters and one pewter bason, and a chest of draws, all which she had before marriage and brought with her. And also I give her one black cow, four years old, forever. Also, I give her the improvement of 1-2 of my dwelling house and of my barn, and the improvement of 4 acres of land extending eastward from the west side of my orchard, and of 4 acres plough land westward of my barn, so long she lives a widow. To my four sons, John, Joseph, Simmons and Elijah, I give all my real estate in houseing and lands (not only lands divided, but also all my right and interest in undivided, common or sequestered lands), to be equally divided among them, excepting that my two eldest sons, John and Joseph, shall have my dwelling house and barn above their equal parts with the rest of my three eldest sons, paying to their sisters their legacies, in all amounting to £104, which my will is to have payd as followeth, viz.:

    By my son John, £38-16s-08d; By my son Joseph, 38-16-08; By my son Simmons, 26-06-08

    To each of my two elder daughters, Elizabeth and Mary, I give 40 shillings a piece in current money of sd. Colony, to be paid to them within the space of 6 years after my decease. To each of my five younger daughters, viz., Susannah, Margaret, Abigail, Ann and Sarah, I give £20 apiece. My will is that all my sons (except Simmons, whom I would have speedily put to a trade) shall continue in their mother's service till they come of age. I give all the rest of my estate to my wife (to pay my debts with), whom I hereby appoint my sole executrix.
