My Family Tree

’’Being now in perfect health and considering that my son, John Williams, late of said Colchester Deceased and hath left a widow and five children, two sons and three daughters, and inasmuch as I never gave him a deed [to] the west half of the 100 acres of land on which he lived and always intended that he and his heirs or assigns should always have and hold the same - and I do now will and grant give and bequeath the same in manner and form as is hereafter expressed.” He gave his daughter-in-law, Abigail, ”so long as she remains my son’s widow," the use of one-third part of the housing and fifty acres of land, "which is the one-half of the hundred acres lying south of the rode that leads to Joseph Isham’s, the easterly half I have given to my son Charles Williams by deed."
