From The Stowell Genealogy:88
Administration was granted on the estate of William Stowell, lato of Hingham, deceased, to Seth Briggs, of Pembroke, Plymouth County, and to Adam Stowell of Hingham, Suffolk County, 26 April 1771. Inventory returned 20 Dec. 1771, gives personal property £27.13.4 and real estate in Abington, Weymouth and Hingliam £862 (Suff. Prob. 14920).
His sister Rachel having died before him in 1748, unmarried, William apparently divided his estate among six of the children of his sister Hannah (Stowell) Briggs and four of the children of his brother Samuel, one-tenth to each, viz.: to John Briggs, Seth Briggs, James Briggs, William Briggs, Rachel Hatch, wife of Jonathan Hatch, and Hannah Holmes, wife of John Holmes, who were children of Hannah, and to Adam Stowell, Joseph Stowell, Samuel Stowell and Rachel Remington, wife of Thomas Remington, who were four of the children of Samuel; but he does not mention Obadiah, the other son of Samuel, or Obadiah’s children.
In appraising the shares divided to Adam Stowell and Joseph Stowell, consideration had been had by us of their mother's right of improvement in the pieces of land at Hochley and New Bridge for life (Suff. Prob. 25 May 1772).
