In the name of God, Amen. I, Thomas Hunt, Esq., of the Borrough town of Westchester, being far advanced in years. I leave to my eldest son, Stephen Hunt, a lot of salt meadow containing 4 1/2 acres, which I bought of William Lawrence, lying on the west side of Barretta creek, Also my œ25 privilege in the Sheep Pasture or Commonage of Westchester, And the reason I now give him no more is because I have provided for him already according to my ability. I leave to my son, Charles Hunt, all those two tracts of land which I bought of the executors of Moses Fowler, by deed, November 14, 1745, which land is situate in the township of East Chester at a place called the Long Reach, both containing 100 acres. I leave to my son Elvin all the rest of my real estate, and he shall allow to my wife the entire use and benefit until he is 21, if she shall live so long and remain my widow. If my son Elvin dies under age, then my wife is to have the use of all my real estate for life if she remains my widow. If my son Elvin lives to be of age, he shall allow my wife Mary the use of a room in my house and 1/3 of my real estate. If my son Elvin dies under age, I authorize my grand sons, Sylvester Hunt, son of my son, Stephen Hunt, and Robert Hunt, Jr., son of my daughter Christina, and John Hunt, son of my daughter Alethea, to sell all my residuary real estate, and the money to be divided among my children and grand children, Stephen, Charles, Alethea, wife of John Hunt, Anna, wife of John Leggett, Helena, wife of Jonathan Odell, Martha, wife of James Tippett, and Myana Hunt, and my grand son, Robert Hunt, Jr. I leave to my daughter Anna, wife of John Leggett, œ10.
