wife of Richbell Mott. I also leave to my daughter, Mary Mott, the use of
the house I bought of Sering (Searing) and œ5 to repair the house, and the
use of 1/2 an acre of land enclosed before the south door, and fire wood for
her use, and the use of two cows, and a horse, and my negro woman "Dinah."
"All these she is to have during the time she doth or shall live separate
from her husband, Richard Mott, or if he should die, then to her use during
her widowhood." I leave to my daughter Sarah, late wife of Joseph Lake,
œ50; and to her two daughters, Sarah and Mary Lake, œ50. I leave to my
grand daughter, Elizabeth Mott, œ20. I leave to my wife Sarah the rents
and profits of all my dwelling houses where I now dwell, and the use of 2/3
of my barns, and the use of 1/2 of the lands "that I bought of the Lees,"
and the use of 2/3 of all other lands and meadows, during her widowhood,
and the use of two negro men, and all household goods, and the interest of
all my money that I have at interest, except as hereafter stated. I order
my executors to build for my son Richard a dwelling house, and he is to take
the time and trouble of building the same, and the executors are to pay the
cost out of the money I have at interest. "The bigness of the house to be
at the discretion of my executors." I also leave to my son Richard 3 cows,

to my son Richard 1/3 of all book debts. Of all the rest of my estate,
I leave 1/2 to my wife, to go to my son Richard after her decease, and 1/2
