Research Notes:
Jan 15 1665: agreed that he should bring to his grandmother's house four good cords of wood each year during her life in consideration of what his grandfather John Wiate enjoined him to do by will. Cordwood was then worth about 5 shillings per cord in Rowley. Probably young Kimball was reluctant to furnish firewood for the benefit of Barker who meant nothing to him [Ref: Threlfall 50GMCol p314]

Mar 25 1667: pledged his inheritance against his obligations to his grandmother, in a deed to Theophilus Willson [Ref: Threlfall 50GMCol p313]

Mar 16 1677/8: sued by John Barker of Rowley for not paying him 48 cords of firewood which was due to his wife, "formerly called Mary Wiate, grandmother to said Kimball" according to an agreement of 15 Jan 1665 [Ref: Threlfall 50GMCol p313]
