I, Charles Mott, of Cow Neck, in the town of Hempstead, in Queens County, being sick and weak. My executors are to sell all my housing and lands and meadows that I bought of Noah Barton, in Westchester County. And they may sell it in a short time or tarry some years, before they sell it. I leave to my wife Deborah, one third of my money and movable estate, and my executors are to put two thirds out at interest to pay for bringing up my children. If my children should prove sickly or lame, and the interest is not sufficient, they may use the principal. And they may give my children what schooling they think fit. And when my three daughters, Abigail, Elizabeth, and Mary, are 18, they are to have £20 each. I leave all the rest to my four sons, Joseph, Thomas, Samuel, and Silvanus. I make my father, Charles Mott, and my uncle, Adam Mott, and my brothers-in-law, Henry Pearsall and Richard Valentine, executors.
