Will bequeaths to his wife a 20-acre lot in Warwick, which goes to his son Moses after her death in addition to his house and various other property. His daughters got 20 shillings.

A family legend states that John Budlong (son of Francis Budlong and Rebecca Lippitt) was saved by a friendly squaw who hid him in a Dutch oven during the November raid, and that he was later traded to his uncle for a load of pumpkins. He was brought to the home of his uncle, Moses Lippitt, and raised there in Warwick along with his four cousins after the war. In 1692, when this sole survivor of the Budlong family massacre came of age, he bought twenty-five acres of land in Buttonwoods.
