    I, Michael Griswold, 2nd, of Wethersfield, do make this my last will and testament: I give unto my son Benjamin Griswold my homestead, about 11 acres of land, with the house and barn and orchard thereon standing, except the improvement of 1-2 of sd. lands, buildings and orchard, which I reserve to my wife Mary during her widowhood; also except the blacksmith shop and tooles thereof, and the ground which sd. shop covers, which I reserve for my son Michael during the time he shall see cause to uphold and work in sd. shop, and no longer; and also one acre of land across the highway near sd. homestead, which I purchased of my brother Samuel Griswold, and lying next to the homelott of George Northway, excepting the use of sd. acre which I reserve for my wife during her widowhood; and also 2 acres of land lying in the Great Meadow in Wethersfield, which I purchased of Eliphalet Dickinson; he, said Benjamin, paying upon my decease to my daughter Prudence the sum of £20 money or equivalent thereto. I give to my son William Griswold 1-2 of my lott at Newington and lying on the north side of sd. Lott there, and my desire is that my sd. wife, upon my decease, do by deed of gift convey to sd. William the 1-2 of my lott that I hold in her right at Besitt Plaine, viz., the north side of sd. lott; but in case my sd. wife shall neglect or refuse to convey sd. half of sd. Besitt Plaine, then my will is that she pay to the sd. William out of my moveable estate what the sd. land shall be valued at upon my decease. I give to my son Michael Griswold the other half of my lott at Newington, lying on the south side of sd. lott, and my smith shop and tooles, and also the use of the ground it covers, while he the sd. Michael shall uphold and use the same, and also my paceing mare. I give to my son Phineas Griswold 1 1-2 acres of land lying across the way, purchased of my brother Samuel Griswold, being part of the homelott of my honoured father Thomas Griswold, excepting 1-3 part of the yearly produce, which I reserved to the use of my sd. father during his natural life; and also 1-2 of the house and land now standing on sd. lott and to be divided between sd. Phineas and Ensign Michael Griswold upon the decease of my sd. father; and also my windmill lot. I give to my daughter Prudence £20 money and also a heifer and calf, which, with what she hath had, is all her portion. I give to my daughter Kezia the 1-2 of my Besitt Plaine lott, on the east side of sd. lott, and 5 roods of land in the Great Plaine, concerning which lands my will or desire is that my sd. wife (upon my decease) do convey sd. half of sd. Besitt Plaine lott and sd. 5 roods in the sd. Plaine to Kezia by deed of gift. I give to my wife Mary the improvement of the 1-2 of my house and orchard and homelott whereon they stand, and also the improvement of 1 acre lying across the way next the homelott of George Northway, during the time she shall continue my relict or widow; and also all my part of the team and all the tackling thereon, and husbandry implements, and all other my moveable estate; also 2 cowes and all my sheep and family provisions and winter corne on ye ground, I give to my wife and my son Benjamin for the payment of my just debts and support of my family as need shall require. I appoint my wife and my son Benjamin Griswold to be my executors.
