Will
[From Colonial Records, vol. 1. HARTFORD, CONN.
The last Will and Testament of RICHARD LYMAN, being in p'fect memory, I giue unto my wife all my houseing and lands dureing her life, and one-third p'te of my lands to dispose at her death amongst my children as sheo pleaseth, and I giue to her all my moucable goods, as Cattell and houshold stuffe, and all other impliments or mouables. And the other two p'ts of my land I give to my clder sonne Richard, and to his heires forever, and if he dy without an heir, then I giue yt to my sonne Robert, and to his heires forever. For my son Richard my mynd is that the Cattell I have formerly giuen him that he shall enjoy. To my daughter Sarah, besids the Cattell I formerly haue giuen her, my will is that my wife shall pay her twenty pounds to yeres after my death. To my sonne John Lyman I giue him thirty pownds, to be paid him by my wife, att two and twenty yeres of age, and the hoggs that I formerly haue giuen him, I giue unto my wife, and if he contends wth her and will not be content my wife should enjoy the hoggs, then yt is my will that shee should not pay him the thirty pownds. To my sonne Robert, I giue twenty fower pownds, to be paid him at twenty-two yeres of age; and to my daughter Fillis, the wife of Willis Hills, I giue tenne shillings; and I make my wife sole executrix to this my will. Dated the 22d of Aprill, 1640.
The two prts of my land and howse I giue to Richard Lyman my sonne; the reson of writeing this is because the word howse was not formerly expressed.
RICHARD LYMAN.
