Parish of Norton, Kings County, Esquire. Will dated 12 September 1806, proved 24 March 1809. Wife Mary all real and personal estate. And for the better education & bringing up of my dear Children Mary Isabella, Martha Sophia, Kathrin Elizabeth Putnam, Charles Wentworth and Frances Chandler I do give & Dispose of the Tuition of them & every of them, unto my said Wife during the Time they & either of them respectively continue unmarried and remain under the age of twenty-one years. The unhappy Event of the late American War & a long course of ill Health have unavoidably prevented my making Provision for my Children, both by my first & second Wives, those by the latter I leave in the Hands & Care of their now living Mother, the others are I hope capable of supporting themselves. Eldest daughter Elizabeth being unsettled, my will and request to my Wife is, if sufficient property remains after paying my Debts, that she will pay her annually during her remaining unmarried the sum of Fifty Dollars. I have done the best I could do for my Elder Children in giving them the best education in my power & sorry I am I can do no more for them. Wife Mary UPHAM, her nephew William BOTSFORD Esq. and friend Mr. Isaiah SMITH executors. Witnesses: Elijah BAXTER, William HOYT, Oliver ENGLISH.
