Cadwell, Lt. Thomas, Hartford. Invt. £1300-17-02. Taken 21 February, 1739-40, by William Gaylord, William Cadwell and Nathaniel Jones. Will dated 30 December, 1737.
I, Thomas Cadwell of Hartford, do make and declare this my last will and testament: I give to my wife Hannah 1-3 part of all my personal estate, to her and her heirs forever. I also devise to the use of my sd. wife one end of my present dwelling house in Hartford, which she shall choose, with a proportional part of the cellar and garden and well, to be hers during life. And also, for her more comfortable support, my will is that my sons shall pay to her annually during her life the sum of £10 money as I hereafter shall order. I give to my eldest son Thomas all that my farm at the west division in Hartford which is bounded north on the lands of Samuel and Thomas Shepherd and Daniel Ensign, south on his own land, east on Hartford commons, and west on Farmingtown bounds, with the house and all other buildings thereon erected, part whereof I have already given him by deed, my son Thomas paying to my wife the sum of £4 annually during her life in part of the legacy of £10 I have herein before given her, and also what I shall hereinafter order him to pay to my two daughters, Hannah and Lois. I give and devise to my two sons, Jonathan and James, the lott which I bought of Thomas Sadd in the aforesd. west division according as I have already given the same to them by deeds of gift. Also, I give to them, the sd. Jonathan and James, a lott of land in Farmingtown which I bought of Samuel Wadsworth, and also the southward part or all the remainder of a lott of land lying in Farmingtown that I bought of Capt. Hart, which remainder is not contained in my deed of part of sd. lott to the Burrs, the aforesd. land to be equally divided between them my sd. sons Jonathan and James, each of my sd. sons Jonathan and James paying to my wife each 40 shillings annually in part of the aforesd. legacy of £10, and also paying what I shall hereafter order them to pay to my aforesd. two daughters. As to my son Moses, I have already given him the full portion of my real estate, that is to say, what part of my estate I did intend he should have. By his desire I have sold and have given him the money for which the same was sold, so that he has had a full single portion of my estate. Yet my will is that my executors shall pay to him the sd. Moses out of my personal estate at inventory price to the value of 30 shillings, and no more. I give to my son Aaron my present dwelling house, homelott, barn and orchard thereon, also my meadow land lying in the North and South Meadow, and my pastureland lying in the Ox Pasture, and my lott called the Brickiln lott, all lying in Hartford aforesd., to be to him, his heirs and assigns forever, of all which I have heretofore given him a deed of gift, reserving to the use of my wife only what I have hereinbefore given to her in my sd. house, &c., for life, the same to be to him, his heirs and assigns forever, he paying to my sd. wife 40 shillings annually during her life in part to make up the aforesd. legacy of £10, and also what I shall hereafter order him to pay to my aforesd. daughters. As to my daughter Hannah Chappell, I have already given her £30-04, and my will is that she shall have out of my estate, more than what she hath already had, the sum of £69-16, to her and her heirs forever. As to my daughter Lois Bliss, I have already given her £48-06, and I will that she shall have out of my estate, more than what she hath already had, £51-14, to her and her heirs forever. If there be not sufficient personal estate to pay sd. sums to my daughters, what part thereof is wanting I hereby order to be paid to them by my four sons, Thomas, Jonathan, James and Aaron, my son Thomas to pay 2-5 part thereof, and Jonathan, James and Aaron each 1-5 part thereof. I hereby appoint my two sons, Thomas and Jonathan, to be executors.
