    I, Timothy Cowles of Hartford, do make this my last will and testament: I give to my son William Cowles (besides what I have already given him) the 1-2 of my land in the lott whereon he dwells, which now remains undisposed of, and 10 acres toward the east end, lying east of the road, excepting 10 acres which I do hereafter give unto my son Joseph Cowles, and my part of the land within the meadow fence, which I do herein except, to be divided equally between him and my son Joseph Cowles, which land I give to the sd. William Cowles forever. I give unto my son Joseph Cowles, he paying £10 of the legacies given to my daughters hereafter named, severall parcells of land as follows: That is, 10 acres of the upland lott whereon my son William Cowles now dwells, butting west on 10 acres toward the east and belonging to my son William above given: also all my part of the sd. lott lying within the meadow fence, butting west on land of the heirs of Deacon Joseph Olmsted; and also the whole of my land lying within the meadow which is bounded north on land of the heirs of Deacon Joseph Humphrey, south on land of Richard Case and the heirs of Deacon Daniel Bidwell, west on land of Daniel Bidwell, and east on a highway; and 1-2 of my land in the lott whereon my son William dwells, to be divided equally with the sd. William Cowles; and also all my part of the team tackling; all which I give to my son Joseph Cowles forever. I give to my daughter Elizabeth Wells, besides what she hath already received, 20 shillings. I give unto my daughter Hannah Hubbard so much as to make up, with what she hath already, £40. I give to my daughter Abigail Cowles £40. I give to my daughter Martha Cowles £40. I give all the remainder of my estate, after the legacies are paid, unto my two sons, William Cowles and Joseph Cowles, to be equally divided between them. And I make my two sons, William Cowles and Joseph Cowles, executors.
