The second day of March, Anno Dom. 1710-11, I, Zachariah Sandford, of Hartford, in the County of Hartford, in the Colony of Connecticut, in New England, innholder, being of sound mind, understanding and memory, do make and ordain this my last will and testament, and I do hereby revoak and renounce all former wills whatsoever by me made by word, writing or otherwise: First, I commend my soull into the hands of Almighty God that gave it, and my body to a comly Christian burial. And as for my wordly goods and estate here, I do give and dispose the same in manner as hereinafter is expressed, that is to say:

And in case either of them decease before she attain that age, the said six pounds to be paid to the survivours or survivour of them.

    Item. I give and bequeath to my said son Jonathan Bunce and his heirs all the time and service that is due to me by and from my servants or apprentices, James Jarrell and Drusus (Indian man), provided the said Jonathan shall accept of them and fulfill my part of obligation in their indentures.

    Item. I give unto my son Jonathan Bunce the full and free use and improvement of all my lands and other estate whatsoever, for and during the term of my natural life, he maintaining me comfortably whilst I live, and my daughter Abigail until she arrive at the age of eighteen years, or day of marriage, which shall first happen.

I give to my daughter Abigail Sandford that parcell of land in the South Meadow in Hartford, containing about 18 acres. I give unto my grandson Zachariah Bunce (son of my son Jonathan Bunce) 20 acres of my land in the West Division in Hartford. In case the said Zachariah Bunce or Abijah Bunce shall not attain the age of 21 years, then the said land shall be equally divided between my two daughters, Sarah and Abigail, or their heirs.

    I do give and bequeath all my other lands lying in Hartford or elsewhere, with the rights, members and appurtenances, not otherwise disposed of, unto my son Jonathan Bunce and my daughter Abigail Sandford and their heirs, to be equally divided between them.
