Last Will and Testament

21 May 1701 , Massachusetts, USA

THE WILL OF RICHARD HAVEN
In the name of our Lord God Everlasting, Amen, I, Richard Haven of
Lynn, in the county of Essex, in the Province of Massachusetts Bay,
in New England, being aged, and weak of body, yet God, of His
goodness, affording to me my right understanding, I take this
opportunity to make this My Last Will and Testament, as followeth. I
resign up my spirit into the hands of my blessed Redeemer, the Lord
Jesus Christ; my body to the earth, to be decently buried, at the
discretion of my Executor, hereafter named; and, for my worldly
estate, I Will and Bequeath as followeth:
Imp. That all my just and honest debts be duly and honestly paid.
I give to my son John Haven, five pounds in good pay, to be
paid within two years after my decease, fifty shillings per year.
I give to my son Nathaniel Haven, five pounds in good pay, to
be paid within two years after my decease, fifty shillings per year.
I give to my grandson Joseph Haven, the son of my son Richard
Haven, deceased, five shillings; the reason I give him no more
is because I have given his father considerable before his decease.
I give and bequeath to my son Moses Haven, his heirs and
assigns, forever, my dwelling house and barn, and all that lot of
land, where my house and barn now stands, excepting only so much as
I, in this my will, give to my daughter Hannah Goodell; also, I give
to my son Moses Haven, his heirs and assigns, two lots of land lying
in the Rumney Marsh, containing eleven acres at the least, with the
full and just half of my lot of upland lying in Ramsdell's Neck, so
called, all my movable estate not disposed of in this my will; and
he to pay all the legacies herein mentioned.
I give and bequeath to my daughter Hannah Goodell the land her
house stands on, and my little orchard, bounded westward by the land
formerly Thomas Brown's; southward, by the highway; eastward, as the
fence now stands; northward, within two poles where the barn now
stands; my son Moses, to have half the fruit that shall grow upon
the pippin tree, in said orchard, for seven years after my decease;
and my will is that the yard, that now lies open, shall so remain
for the use of both houses; and after the decease of my daughter
Hannah Goodell, then, if my son Moses Haven, or his heirs, shall see
cause to pay to the heirs of my daughter Goodell, the full value of
the house my said daughter now lives in, and the land said house
stands on, and the said little orchard, as shall be appraised by
three indifferent men, if the parties cannot agree about the same,
then my will is that the said house, orchard, and land, shall be to
my son Moses Haven, and his heirs forever; or else, my will is that
the said house, orchard, and land, as it is bounded, shall be to the
heirs of my daughter Hannah Goodell, and their heirs and assigns
forever; also I give to my daughter Hannah Goodell, her heirs and
assigns, the one full and just half of my lot of upland lying in
Ramsdell's Neck, so called.
I give to my son in law, John Tarbox, one shilling.
I give to my daughter, Sarah Whitney, one cow.
I give to my grandson, Westel Cogswell, one shilling.
I give to my granddaughter, Hannah Parker, twenty shillings.
I give to my granddaughter, Hannah Goodell, my great iron
kettle, and one brass pot, and one pewter platter.
I give ten pounds in pay, to be divided equally among my
daughter Hannah Goodell's children, to be paid within four years
after my decease.
I give to my son Nathaniel Haven, all wearing clothes.
Further, my will is that what legacies I have given in this my
will, particularly mentioning pay, that so many of them as my
executor shall see cause to pay in money, there shall be one third
part abated of the sum that is therein mentioned.
I will and appoint my son, Moses Haven, my lawful and sole
executor to this my last will and testament; and, for the
confirmation hereof, I, the aforesaid Richard Haven, have set to my
hand and seal, this twenty-first day of May, Anno Domini, one
thousand seven hundred and one, in the thirteenth year of the reign
of our sovereign lord, King William the Third of England, etc.
Richard X Haven, and seal
Signed and sealed in presence of us,
John Burrill, Jun.
Joseph Burrill,
Sarah X Ballard
