- In the name of God, Amen, February 1, 1743. I, ISRAEL HONEYWELL, of the Borrough Town of Westchester. I leave to my son Israel all that remainder part of that farm in Westchester which I bought of Thomas and Philip Pell, as by deeds. I also leave him my silver watch. I leave to my daughter, Anne, wife of Nathaniel Underhill, Jr., £20. To my daughter Phebe £100. I leave to my son Gillead my negro boy “Tone.” I leave to my dearly beloved wife Dorothy all the rest of my personal property and the use of all houses and lands so long as she remains my widow, and she is to pay all debts and funeral charges. After her death or marriage, I leave all my houses, lands, and meadows to my son Gillead, and a £50 right in the Sheep Pasture, and he is to pay to my son Stephen £100. If my brother, Richard Honeywell, of Bedford, shall pay to Peter Bussing, of Westchester, all the money that is due to him on a bond given by my said brother Richard, and on which I am bound, but for his own proper debt, then I direct my executors to deliver to him a deed for certain lands in Bedford which he gave to me by said deed. But if he does not pay the same, then my executors are to sell the land and pay the debt. I make my son Israel executor.
Witnesses, John Williams, Nathaniel Underhill, Stephen Williams.
Proved, December 7, 1762.
