Abstract of Wills-Liber 21, page 272
In the name of God, Amen, March 31, 1755.  I, Thomas Rogers, of the town of
Hunttington, in Suffolk County, blacksmith.  I leave to my wife Phebe the
choice of rooms in my dwelling house, and the use of 1/3 of all lands and
meadows, and 1/3 of my movables, "so long as she continues my widow, and in
that character abides in my house, but if she marries and removes away, she
shall have no benefit of this bequest."  I leave to my son Thomas, who is now
in a weak, declining state, if he shall live to have another child, I give him
my house and home lot where I now dwell, and 1/3 of all my other lands and
meadows, except my swamp lot given to my son Josiah, out of which I give to my
son Thomas 4 rods square adjoining to his tan house for the convenience of his
tannery business.  But if he does not live to have any more lawful issue, then
the said lands are to go to my son, Josiah Rogers, except my house and home
lot, which I give to my grand son, Stephen Rogers, son of my son Thomas.  I
leave to my son Thomas 1/6 of all movable estate.  I leave to my son Josiah my
swamp lot, and the house in which he dwells, and the shop, and the dam on the
said lot, and 1/6 of all movable estate.  I leave to my daughter, Abigail
Foot, of Branford, Connecticutt, 1/3 of movable estate.  I leave 15 pounds for
the use and support of a Presbyterian minister in Hunttington, to be put at
interest for that purpose.  I make my friend, Augustine Bryan, and my son,
Josiah Rogers, executors.
