JOHN WICK. In the name of God, Amen. I, John Wick, of Southampton, in the County of Suffolk, being very weak in body. I give to my son, Job Wick, all that my close of land lying against Jeremiah Culver's. Also the €30 I paid to Stephen Boyer on his account. And 4 two-year old cattle. "My will is that my son John be brought up to learning at colledge," and for that I give to him to be sold by my executors in trust, a 100 Pound allotment of upland, lying in the last 30-acre Division in the lot with James White, Also my little plowing close joining to Nathaniel Howell and Jonathan Raynor. Also all my right of upland and meadow lying within the Patentship of Moriches, which I bought of William Smith, Esq. And I empower my executors to sell the said pieces of land and the money to be laid out for his bringing up. I leave to my son Henry my now dwelling house, and barn, and home lot. Also my right in lot No. 1 and 14, adjoining to my said home lot, And all my lot of land lying south east of my now dwelling house bounded east by Abraham Howell, Jr., and on the other sides by highways. And all my right in Sagg Swamp, lying with Abraham Howell and Theophilus Howell. And all my right at Montauk, and all my right of meadow in Red Creek neck and 3/4 of a €50 right of Commonage throughout the bounds of Southampton. All the rest of my lands, meadows, and Commonage I leave to my sons Daniel and James. All the rest of my personal estate is to be sold at "publick vendue" as soon as possible, and the money to be put at interest "at six in the hundred rather than lye dead," and for the use of my wife to support the children till the youngest is fourteen years of age, and be bound out to learn some trade. I leave to my wife Temperance, the east end of my dwelling house, and the use of 1/3 of the real estate during her life. All the personal property that may be found when my youngest child is fourteen years of age, is to be divided between my wife and my children Temperance, Edith, John, Henry, Anne, Phebe, and James. My wife and my daughters, Temperance, and Edith, may purchase at the vendue articles to the value of €50, to be deducted from their share. I make my friends Matthias Burnett, "cordwinder," and Thomas Cooper, yeoman, and Alexander Willmot, "joyner," executors, till my sons John and Henry are of age, and then they are to be joint executors.
