"The original will of Robert Barrow is on file in the Plymouth Probate Office. It is dated Dec. 9,1707, and signed T the mark of Robert Barrow. It gives his wife Lydia, his dwelling house and lands pertaining thereto, 2 cows, 18 sheep, household goods, gun and sword. He mentions by name, two only of his sons, Robert and Thomas, giving them certain lands in a distant part of the town. A codicil is added, stating that he makes no mention of his children by his first wife because they had already received their poreions of his estate. 'And as to Elisha and my daughters by my second wife, have given considerable part of rny estate to her her to be disposed of to them as she shall see cause,' He appointed his wife Lydia executor. The will was probated Dec. 19, 1707, before Nathaniel Thomas, Judge.
