Will dated 21st March, 1699-1700. I, William Ventrus of Haddam, being very aged and crazy of body, do make and constitute this my last will and testament: I do hereby ratify and confirm the deed of guift or sale formerly made to my son Moses Ventrus. I give and bequeath to my son John Ventrus, forever, that house and homelot which I purchased of John Wiat, and the upper and lower lot in Cove meadow, and a £100 right on the west side of Connecticut River, which I purchased of said Wiat. And in case John Ventrus hath no issue of his own body, or said issue decease before it comes to age, that it shall go and fall to Moses his child or children. I give unto my wife Elizabeth Ventrus 40 shillings per year in provision pay, to be paid her yearly during her widowhood by my son John Ventrus upon consideration of what I give him; and also I give my wife liberty to dispose of what estate she brought with her that is yet left. It is my will that my two sons John and Moses Ventrus pay unto their sister Susanna Brainwood, my daughter, each of them £5 in provision pay, two full years after my decease, as her portion from me, and this legacy of £10 to be all she shall expect. I do give and bequeath all my whole right and rights, lands and privileges on the east side of the Cove and Great River, on Machamoodus, to my two sons John and Moses, to them and their heirs forever. I appoint my son Moses Ventrus executor, and appoint Mr. William Eely and Mr. John Smith of Haddam to be the overseers.
Wm. X Ventrus.
