      BEE IT KNOWN that I, John Faierbancks of Dedham do make this my last will and Testament in manner and forme following, being sound in my understanding and of a disposing minde, For which I bless God, and knowing the uncertainty of this life, and being by many awfull intimations minded of my great change, shall therefore, God assisting me, endeavour to set my house in order. And First I comit, bequeath and resigne my Soule unto the hands of Almighty God, my Creator, being hopefully assured, believing that I shall receive the full pardon and free remission of all my Sins and be saved by the precious Death and merits of Jesus Christ, my Redeemer, and my body to the earth from whence it was taken, to be Decently and in Christian manner interred after my Decease, by my Executor and Overseers or Supervisors hereafter mentioned, and after my debts and funerall charges be paid, my mind and will as touching such worldly things over which the Lord have me steward, is that they be empowered as followeth,--viz.

      IMPRIMIS. I give and bequeath to my eldest son John Fairbanks all my rights within the Town of Wrentham, conteining thirteen Cow commons with some Sheep commons, with all that do or shall belong of right to them in any manner or kind whatsoever within the Town of Wrentham or adjoyning to that Township, to wit, my rights in that last Indian purchase bought of Philip Sagamore, all which I value at Forty pounds. More I give and bequeath to my eldest son John Fairbanks ten pounds which is to be understood because he is my eldest Son, and therefore my mind and will is that he s John Fairbanks shall receive of my Estate or from my Executor ten pounds more than either Joseph Fairbancks, my second son, or Benjamin ffairbancks, my youngest Son: And further my minde and will is that after my debts and Legacies and other charges be paid, that my son John Fairbanks shall receive of my Sons Joseph and Benjamin Fairbanks in currant Country payment to make up that Fourty pounds by me given in Wrentham equal with my other two Sons, namely Joseph & Benjamin Fairbanks, and my mind and will is that Joseph and Benjamin ffairbanks shall pay or cause to be paid to my Son John Fairbanks or his heires in Dedham ten pounds in currant Country payment pr yeare beging the next yeare after my decease and so to continue forth on in ye insuing yeares to pay untill he sd John Fairbanks shall have received both his ten pounds above expressed, and to make him equall with his Bretheren as above is expressed, and alike my mind is that if my Sons Joseph & Benjamin ffairbanke can pay their Brother John ffairbanke more than ten pounds pr yeare they shall do well, but my mind in expressing ten pounds pr yeare is that they shall not be driven to more.

      Item. I give and bequeath to my daughter Hannah ffaierbanks Sixty pounds, and my mind and will is that she shall have her first choice in the movables of the house to the value of twenty pounds, and then she my said daughter to receive ffourty pounds more of her Brothers (to wit) Joseph and Benjamin ffairbanks within the space of Six yeares after the day of my decease in currant Country payment, my mind is that my daughter Hannah Fairbank do receive Six pounds thirteen Shilling four pence pr yeare in the yeares as above expressed, to be paid by Joseph and Benjamin Fairbanks.

      Item. I give and bequeath to my grand daughter Mary Sawyer the Sum of ffifteen pounds to be paid by my Sons Joseph and Benjamin Fairbanks in currant Country payment, and my mind is that She my sd Grand child shall receive the first ffive pounds when she shall attain to the age of one & twenty yeares, and so forth on in the next ensuing years five pounds pr yeare untill she have received her ffifteen pounds. And if She my sd Grand Child shall dye before she attain to the age of twenty and one years then this ffifteen pounds to return to my Children surviving to be equally divided.

      It. I give and bequeath unto Joseph Fairbanks my second Son and unto Benjamin Fairbanks my youngest Son all my houses barns Orchards Lands meadows common rights goods movables cattell debts and whatsoever is not already given and legally disposed of, they paying all debts & Legacies and charges whatsoever, to be in all honest respects divided equally betwixt them my Sons Joseph and Benjamin Fairbanks. And forasmuch as my Son Joseph Fairbanks have already received one of my dwelling houses and Land to it notwithstanding if he shall see fit to choose the house of which I am now possest of and shall resigne that situation that he is possest of by a deed of gift from me his Father to my Son Benjamin upon equall terms as he shall receive the other house, then my mind is that he have his choice of the houses, and that the whole of my remaining Estate be divided betwixt them sd Joseph and Benjamin Fairbanks as above sd.

      It.
