"Nov. 24, 1645, being 'fully intended and prepared for a voyage for England,' he made a will, leaving his 'daughters-in-law,' equally to be divided among them, 'all my lands that lyes on the east of ye great river in lieu of my engagement with them upon my marriage and that my wife shall trayne them up until they come to the age of eighteen years and my said wife to have the benefit of ye sd. land until yt time.' He gives his wife and two sons, his house and all the residue of his lands in the town of Windsor, and all his personal property; his wife to have the use of it until she marry, or the sons come of age."
