    Spencer, Obadiah, Hartford. Invt. £2221-14-08. Taken 4 December, 1741, by Aaron Cook and Joseph Talcott. Will dated 27 February, 1732-3.

    I, Obadiah Spencer of Hartford, do make this my last will and testament: I give to my wife Ruth 1-2 of the improved lands which I shall hereafter in this my will bequeath to my son Daniel, and the use of 1-2 of my dwelling house, 2 cows and one horse, and the use of all my household stuff, so long as she remains my widow. But if my sd. wife should marry, then my will is that my son Daniel shall improve the whole of sd. house and land given as aforesd. to my sd. wife. I give to my son Obadiah Spencer one parcel of land in Hartford which I bought of Col. Whiting, Capt. Joseph Whiting and Capt. Stanly, and part of that I bought of Richard Goodman, bounded north on land of my brother John Spencer, east on the road that leads to Windsor and on the heirs of Thomas Butler decd., south in part on the heirs of Thomas Butler and part on my own land, and west partly on John Pratt's land, partly on Thomas Burr, Jr., his land, and partly on land of Thomas Sanford, about 40 acres more or less, with the buildings thereon erected; also one lott of land in the Long Meadow, bounding east on a passway, west on Neck land, north on land of Ebenezer Welles, and south on John Church's land. Also, I give to my son Obadiah all my right of land in Windsor which I now have or that may hereafter fall to me by right of my wife's father Mark Kelsey decd. Also, my joyner's tools of all sorts, to him and his heirs forever. I give to my son Stephen 10 acres of the south side of a lott of land at the Blue Hills, which I bought of Mr. John Reed, to run east and west through sd. lott, besides what I have already given him of moveables, to him and his heirs forever. I have confirmed to my son Jonathan by deed of gift a certain lott of land in the west division at Hartford which he has conveyed away for a tract of land at Enfield, which settlement or tract of land I fully confirm to him by this bequest. Also, I give him one yoke of oxen. All which land I give to him and his heirs forever. I give to my son Daniel my homelott that my now dwelling house stands on, to him and his heirs forever; and also that land in the Long Meadow I bought of Charles Kelsy, butting east on the Great River, west on Neck land, north on John Pratt, and south on land given to the First Church in Hartford; and my lott at Brick Hill Bridge, which I bought of Mr. Dodd, butting north on the country road, on a driftway and church land; and also a lott at Pitkin Swamp, butting east on the heirs of Thomas Butler decd., west on a highway, north partly on land of John Pratt and partly on my own land given in this will to my son Obadiah, south partly on Dickinson's land and partly on land of John Church, one yoke of oxen, 2 horse kind, and all my team tackling, to be to him and his heirs forever. I give to my son Caleb the house and homested where he now dwells, which I bought of my brother Disborah Spencer, and also the rest of my Blue Hills lott not before bequeathed, about 20 acres, and my lott of land in the Long Meadow called Hobs Hole, besides what of moveable estate I have already given him. All which I give to him my son Caleb and his heirs forever. I give and bequeath to four of my sons, Obadiah, Stephen, Jonathan and Caleb Spencer, all my right and interest in the lands commonly called the western lands, equally to be divided amongst them. I give to my son Obadiah my great Bible that was my father's, and my great wainscot chest, to him and his heirs forever. If what I have in this my will before given to my sd. wife be not sufficient for her comfortable maintenance or support, then I order my five sons to pay to my sd. wife 20 shillings apiece yearly so long as she continues my widow; but if my sd. wife shall marry, then my will is that she shall have only the two cows and horse in this will bequeathed to her, and 1-3 part of my household stuff, to be at her own dispose forever. I appoint my son Obadiah and my son Daniel to be executors.
