    North, Joseph, Sen., Farmington. Invt. £243-10-01. Taken 30 January, 1730-1, by Timothy Porter, Isaac Cowles, Sen., and Giles Hooper. Will dated 24 April, 1724.

    I, Joseph North, Sen., of the Town of Farmington, do make this my last will and testament: It having pleased God, in His holy, wise providence, to deny me heirs of my own body, I have already by deed settled the greatest part of my freehold estate upon my neare kinsman, Joseph Woodruff. It is therefore my special care now in this my will that my wife, who, through her great pains, prudence, and industry hath been a great builder of my house, may be comfortably carried through this world. Therefore, I do give unto Martha, my wife, and to her heirs and assigns forever, all my estate, both real and personal. More particularly I do give to my wife 2 parcells of land, both of them lying and being within the bounds of the Township of Farmingtown, viz., one percell of land lying neare a place called Purgatory, containing about 7 acres, be the same more or less, adjoining northerly on land of Samuel Cowles; also one parcel of land lying on the contrary side of the highway against Smith Gridley's house, containing 6 acres, be the same more or less, bounded as followeth: east with land formerly Joseph Smith's, west with the land of Thomas North, north with a highway, and south with land belonging to the heirs of William Judd. Also, I give unto my wife, to be at her own dispose forever, all my personal estate of all sorts without exception, which I now have or shall be mine at my decease. Also, I do give unto my wife, during the term of her natural life, the use and profit of my land in the Common Field neare the Round Hill; also that part of my house, barn and homelott whereof I made a reserve in the deed of conveyance I made to my aforesd. kinsman Joseph Woodruff. And further, if I, the sd. Joseph North, through necessity should in my lifetime make dispose of any particular thing or things willed to my wife as above entered (which my purpose is to avoid as much and as well as I can), that then my will is that her right to the remainder should be no ways altered or weakened thereby. And I hereby make Martha my wife my only and sole executrix.
