Will of Samuel Newell Jr. In the name of God, Amen.
The last will and testament of Samuel Newell, the 2d of
Farmington, in the county of Hartford and colony of Connecticut, in New
England, made this 24th day of June, 1750, viz:
The said Samuel Newell being at this time in health of body
through the goodness of God, and in the possession of my reason, for
which I bless His holy name; but grown into age so that I cannot expect
to continue in this life very long, I am therefore desirous to prevent
trouble among my surviving children, do make and ordain this my last
will and testament, and do desire my executor, whom I shall hereafter
appoint, to see that this my last will and testament may be duly
executed. I desire to commit
my soul and body to God as my Creator, to Jesus Christ as my merciful
redeemer, through the merits of whose blood and perfect obedience I hope
to obtain salvation, first as touching such worldly estate that God has
entrusted w me with. |
