    Wadsworth, Capt. Joseph. Invt. £968-07-06. Taken 24 March, 1730, by Nathaniel Marsh and John Cook. Will dated 6 July, 1723.

    I, Joseph Wadsworth, do make this my last will and testament. And having given a jointure in full satisfaction to my wife Mary, I proceed to bequeath my estate to my children. And I give to my son Joseph the upper Neck lott of land where his dwelling house stands, with all the buildings, orchards, priviledges and appurtenances, to him and his heirs forever. Also I give to my son Joseph my upper lott in the long meadow, and the 5-acre lott that I bought of Capt. Nathan Gold, and the 4 acres of land at Brother Talcott's upper lott, which I have by agreement with Brother Talcott; and also give to my son Joseph all my land in Coventry. This I give to him besides what he hath formerly had or improved of my estate. I give to my son Jonathan and his heirs forever a woodlott, butting east on the road to Windsor, with all the buildings thereon, with all the priviledges and appurtenances thereunto belonging. Also I give him my Neck lott of land lying over against the aforesd. woodlott, butting west on the road leading to Windsor, that was bought of Thomas Thomlinson. Also I do give him the lott of land which the half-way tree stands on, in the long meadow. I do give to my son Ichabod the lower houselott, socalled, that butteth west on a highway and north on Joseph Barnard's land, with the mansion house, barn, and all the priviledges and appurtenances thereunto belonging. Also my 4 acres in the south meadow and 6 acres in the Soldier's Field, bounding south on Richard Goodman's land. Also my 3 acres at the lower end of the long meadow, and the acre lott nigh the lower end of sd. meadow. Also my woodlott of 60 acres lying on the west side of Mill River, nigh the road leading to Simsbury. And I order Ichabod to pay to Jonathan 40 shillings yearly so long as my wife continues my widow. And my will is that if I dye before my present wife, that my sons aforenamed do allow to her the improvement of all such lands as by joynture I have given her to use, according to the true intent of sd. instrument, without any let or hindrance whatsoever. I do give to my three grandchildren, children of my daughter Elizabeth Marsh, viz., Jonathan Marsh, Joseph Marsh and Elizabeth Marsh, £10, to be paid to them as they come to lawful age, each of them £3-06-08, to be paid them by my three sons, Joseph, Jonathan and Ichabod, in equal parts. This I give to them besides what I gave to their mother and what she hath had of my estate formerly. I do give unto my daughter Hannah Cook £10 besides what she hath formerly had. I appoint my son Joseph Wadsworth my executor.
