In the name of God, Amen. I, John Kilbourn, Sen'r., of the Town
of Glastenbury, in the County of Hartford, in the Colony of Connecticut,
in New England. Knowing that it is appointed for men once to die, and
considering the uncertainty as to the time of death, withall knowing it to be
the Will of God, who in his tender visitation calls upon me to set my house
in order before I die, and I being (though weak in body) yet of perfect and
sound understanding and memory,and of disposing mind. Praise be to Almighty
God,Do make and ordain this my Last Will and Testament in
manner and form following. I commend my soul into the hands of Almighty
God, hoping through the merits of Christ to obtain free pardon of
all my sins and to inherit Eternal Life, and my body I commit to the Earth
to be decently buried atthe discretion of my Executors hereafter named;
and concerning my outward Estate, since the Earth is the Lord's and the
fullness thereof, to him therefore belongs the Praise that I possess in this
kind, and as for the portion thereof that he hath given me, it is my mind
and Will that after my decease, the same may be disposed of as followeth.

to have the use of the same during her natural life. I also give unto my

her own before I married her, to be forever at her own use and disposal,
I also give to my said Wife, one Cow, also so much of my provisions of all
sorts whatsoever, as may be for her comfortable subsistance the year ensuing.
