---------- Will of Thomas French:
In the name of God Amen. I Thomas ffrench senior, of Ipswich being weak of body yet of perfect understanding and memory doe in case of death make this my last Will and Testament. In the first place I commend my Soul into the hands of Almighty God who hath redeemed it by the precious blood of his Son; and I commit my body to the Earth, whence it was taken, to be buried in a Christian decent manner by my friends in hope of a blessed resurrection to eternal life. And as for my outward Estate which God hath graciously given me in this world I doe thus dispose of it: inprimis, I give and bequeath to Mary my beloved wife the Bed whereon I use to ly, with all the appurtenances and furniture belonging thereto. Moreover I give to my son Thomas ffrench my cloak and cose-coat. Also I give to my son John French one Cow, which is to make up the full summe of thirty pounds which I formerly promised him for his Portion. Also I give to my daughter Mary Smith, one Cow. And to my son Samuel ffrench I give and bequeath the bed whereon he usually lieth, together with the Bedding and Bed-stead belonging to the same. ffurther, as concerning my lands at the Pequod lots, and my division Lot of marsh at plum-Island my Will is, that my sons Thomas and Samuel French for and in consideration of twenty pounds by them engaged according to my order unto my son Ephraim French as he remaining part of his portion (which summe of twenty pounds is almost all paid, and the remainder due upon demand), I say my Will is that those my two sonns Thomas and Samuel shall possesse and enjoy the said Pequod lands, and division-lot of marsh to themselves and to their heirs forever, to be equally divided betwixt them.
ffurthermore, I give and bequeath to my sonn Thomas French my dwelling house and homested with all the appurtenances and priviledges thereof and belonging thereto, and also my Lot lying in labour-in-vain fields containing twelve acres more or less; with all the rest of my cattell, stocke of all sorts and moveable goods (not disposed of my this my Will and testament:) and to my son Samuel I give and bequeath two acres of upland joyning to Joseph Quilter's and two acres of meadow-graound at Reedy marsh; to be possessed by them respectively after my decease; Provided always and my Will is, that my son Thomas French doe give full and free libertie to Mary my wife his mother to abide and dwell in the said house and to make use of any room or rooms thereof for her convenient accommodation therein; as likewise to make use of all or any such moveables as I doe now leave in the hands of my son Thomas (not disposed of:) as may be necessary and convenient for her use and occasions from time to time and all these during the term of her natural life; and that after her decease my son Thomas shall deliver to my three children John, Samil, and Mary three of the biggest pewter dishes which shall then be left and remain, that is to say, to each of them, one. Provided also, and my will is, that my two sons Thomas and Samuel doe carefully provide for their mothers comforatable maintenance and livelyhood and what is requisit thereto during her natural life; each of them allowing thereto proportionally to that part of my Estate which shall be by them received by vertue of this my testament. And if through any neglect or failure, this way of maintenance should not be to their mother's satisfaction and content, my Will is, yet those my two sonns Thomas and Samuel shall allow to their mother ten poinds yeerly; nine pounds thereof to be paid by Thomas and twenty shillings by Samuel, in such pay as shall be suitable and necessary for her confortable maintenance and livelyhood; And further, if it shall please God to exercise her with much prevailing weakness or continuing sickness that the aforesaid ten pounds should not sufice to defray the charges of her expences; my Will is, that (over and above ye ten pounds, and according to the like rate of proportion) those my two sons Thomas and Samuel shall supply her with necessaries suitable as her condition may required, yet she be not exposed to suffering for want of what ought and might be procured for her. Also my Will is, that my Lot in labour-in-vain fields, and the two acres of meadow at Reedy Marsh shall stand bound respectively to my said wife during her natural life at securitie for the true pformance of this my Wil as respecting her maintenance by my two Sons; and after her decease the said lands (except what shall bee alienated (if any so be) by means of the securities aforesaid) to main to each of those my Sonns, and to their heirs for ever as is before mentioned and declared. And lastly, I doe name, appoint, and constitute my son Thomas French to be sole Executor of this my last will & tesatment. August 3, 1680. Thomas ffrench, Senior. [Ref: Davis TOWNE p47]
