I, James BATE, Sen., of the Township of Haddam, on the east side of the river, in the County of Hartford and Colony of Connecticut, have thought it my duty to make my last will and testament: My will is that my wife Mary BATE shall, at my decease, have 1-3 part of my moveable estate wholly at her own dispose, according to her own choice; also that during her widowhood she shall injoy and have the full profit and benefit of my house, barn, orchard and homelott, as also the benefit of my land lying by the Cove, so far as she may have occasion for it on account of firewood. My will is that my grandchild, Elizabeth FULLER, have ¹20 out of my estate, and no more, since her mother in her lifetime had sundry things out of my estate which I have taken no particular account of. My will is that all my estate (besides what I have here absolutley disposed of), both real and personal, wheresoever it is to be found, whether in buildings, lands, cattle, or in other things, shall be equally divided among my 7 children, viz., Rebeckah, Ruth, Alis, Mary, Anne, Abigail and Unis. And for as much as there will be found in my Book of Accounts sundry things which some or all of children have already received, some more and some less, my will is that when each child's part is set out to them that what is found on account shall be considered as so much of their protion already paid. I appoint my wife, Mary BATE, sole executrix. Witness: Stephen HOSMER Jeames BATE, Sen., L.S. Thomas KNOWLTON, Joseph SPENCER Court Record, Page 69 -- 6 June 1732: Will exhibited.
