In the name of God, Amen I Samuel Embree, of Hempsted, n Queens County, on Nassau Island, being very aged and full of Days. January 11, 1727/28 but through the Goodness of Almighty God pretty well in health. I leave to my wife Sarah, 1/3 of all moveable estate, goods and chattels, except my negro boy, Josias. And also the use of all houses and lands until my son Samuel is of lawful age, in case she remains my widow, to bring up my children withal. After my son Samuel is of age, she is to have the use of her choice of rooms in my house, and the use of 1/4 of the estate and her firewood. I leave to my only son and heir, Samuel Embree, all my houses and lands when of age, and my negro boy Josias. But if he dies, then to my 4 daughters, Sarah Abigail, Mary and Hannah. I make my trusty and loving friends, Col. John Tredwell and Daniel Pearsall, both of Hempsted, executors. -Witnesses: Joseph Pettit, Isaac Germans, William Willett [Quaker].5
