Abstract Parish of Sackville, Westmorland County. St. John County records. Will dated 30 September 1807, proved Westmorland County 6 February 1813, registered at Saint John 8 March 1813. Wife Sarah one-third of real estate for life in lieu of dower. Son-in-law Revd. John MILLIDGE £50. Grand-children Thomas Botsford MILLIDGE and Ann Botsford MILLIDGE my lands in the County of Cumberland, to wit one thousand acres at Chinimicas and one thousand about four miles from the Court house in Amherst and £300 each. Grand-children Ann MILLIDGE and Phebe Walker MILLIDGE, daughters of my daughter Sarah, lately deceased, £300 each, and her other daughters, Mary, Jane, Caroline and Eliza, £400 each. The difference in the sum bequeathed to the daughters of my dear Sarah bring on a supposition that the eldest and youngest may receive more from their friends at Annapolis than the others. Son William residue of estate. Son William BOTSFORD sole executor. Witnesses: Bedford BOULTENHOUSE, William RILEY, Gideon TOWER.
