I, Jonathan Higley of Simsbury, in the County of Hartford, do make
this my last will and testament: Imprimis. I give to Ann, my well-beloved
wife, 1-3 part of my personal estate, to her and her heirs forever. Item.
I give her that lott at the northeast corner, that was her Father Barber's,
to her and her heirs forever. I give her the improvement of all my lands
in Simsbury until my daughter Mercy cometh to the age of 18 years or
is married, and after that she shall have the improvement of the 1-3 part
of my lands during her natural life. Item. I give unto my only daughter,
Mercy Higley, all my lands excepting that lott which was her Grandfather
Barber's, which I gave to my wife Ann. Item. I give her the two-thirds
of my moveable or personal estate to her only disposal; but in case her
daughter die before she comes to age or is married, then my will is that my
wife Anne shall have the improvement of all my lands in Simsbury during
her life, and the 1-3 part of them forever, with all the moveables or per-
sonal estate, to her own disposal forever. And that my cousin, David
Higley, shall have my field out under the west mountains, to him and his
heirs forever. All the remainder of my lands in Simsbury,I give to my
six brothers, John, Brewster, Samuel, Nathaniel, Josiah and Isaac, to be
equally divided among them. All my lands at Windsor I give to my
three eldest, brothers, John, Brewster and Samuel, forever, they paying
what by my father's will I was obliged to pay to my sisters. I appoint my
loveing wife Ann sole executrix.
