    I Sarah Wickham of Wethersfield, Widow, doe make this my last Will & Testament: Whereas, I now am in a very weake and helpless Condition, and have been a long time at the great Charge and Care of my eldest son Thomas Wickham, and doe depend upon him under God for my maintenance and support while I live, I doe give & bequeath my whole Estate unto him my sd. son Thomas, excepting only such Legacies or Tokens of my Love as are hereafter mentioned. Whereas, the rest of my Children have had their portions that their Father and myself gave them in full, and whereas, my son William Wickham is indebted to the Estate of my husband, which was left to my disposal, the sum of £10 in Country pay, it is my Will that my son William shall pay the £10 to my sd. son Thomas for my daughter Sarah Hudson in part of the £20 which we intended for her. And I doe remit and forgive my sd. son William what rents he may be indebted to me for any Lands or farme he lives on, provided I have not necessity for it by Weakness & Sickness. And whereas, my sd. son William is indebted to me, for which my sd. son Thomas engaged to see it satisfied until the Money, £3-06, which was lent to him in the year '97, and in Wheat 3 Bushels at 5 Shillings per Bushel, my Will is that he shall pay that Money and Wheat to my son Thomas on Demand. And my Will is that if my daughter Sarah Hudson should die before the time of makeing Good of this Will, that the £10 above mentioned shall go to her son John Cherry, and the other £10 to be prised out of my Household Estate, if it remains after my decease and the decease of my daughter Sarah, then to go to John Cherry, each £10 to be prised in Country pay. I give to my son Samuel Wickham 40 Shillings in Silver, and doe remit my sd. Son Samuel that Debt which he oweth me of £2 more. I give unto my son Joseph Wickham 20 Shillings in Silver besides that £5 which he received in Money Pay of Jonathan Strickland of Long Island. I give unto my gr. son John Cherry 40 Shillings in Silver. If my son John Wickham should be living and appear, I give unto him the sum of 40 Shillings in Silver. I make my son Thomas Wickham my Executor.
