He gives to his daughter Elizabeth Burrows £20 out of the estate, exclusive of what she already has received, to be paid one year after his decease. To his son Joshua he gives one-half of his movalbe estate, farming tools, and negro boy Jacob to live with him until he arrives at the age of 35 years, when he is to go free. The other half of his movalbe estate is directed to be divided between the heirs of his son Joshua and the heirs of his son John deceased; the two sons of the latter, Amos and Abel, also to have the land designated for their father. ‘I give my son Joshua that farm on which he now resides, and one-half of the farm I now live on, during the life of his three weak children.’ He gives to his son Isaiah ‘one-half of the improvements on the farm on which he now lives.’ One-half of the farm called Round Hill farm, that he designated for his son Jonathan, he gives to the latter's daughter Abigail, and the other half to his son Joshua. ‘I give my negro woman Jane her freedom; she not to be controlled; but to dwell in my house and to take care of my three weak children and to be maintained out of my estate, and to have her bed and furniture.’ He directs that his negro boy Ezra is to be brought up until he is 21 years of age, when he is to be freed and to be paid out of the estate £10 in lawful money. ‘I denominate and appoint my son Joshua Rathbone to be my executor of my last will and testament, revoking all others and acknowledging this to be my last.
