    I, Jonathan Higley of Simsbury, in the County of Hartford, do make this my last will and testament: Imprimis. I give to Ann, my well-beloved wife, 1-3 part of my personal estate, to her and her heirs forever. Item. I give her that lott at the northeast corner, that was her Father Barber's, to her and her heirs forever. I give her the improvement of all my lands in Simsbury until my daughter Mercy cometh to the age of 18 years or is married, and after that she shall have the improvement of the 1-3 part of my lands during her natural life. Item. I give unto my only daughter, Mercy Higley, all my lands excepting that lott which was her Grandfather Barber's, which I gave to my wife Ann. Item. I give her the two-thirds of my moveable or personal estate to her only disposal; but in case her daughter die before she comes to age or is married, then my will is that my wife Anne shall have the improvement of all my lands in Simsbury during her life, and the 1-3 part of them forever, with all the moveables or personal estate, to her own disposal forever. And that my cousin, David Higley, shall have my field out under the west mountains, to him and his heirs forever. All the remainder of my lands in Simsbury I give to my six brothers, John, Brewster, Samuel, Nathaniel, Josiah and Isaac, to be equally divided among them. All my lands at Windsor I give to my three eldest, brothers, John, Brewster and Samuel, forever, they paying what by my father's will I was obliged to pay to my sisters. I appoint my loveing wife Ann sole executrix.
