In the name of God, Amen. I, ALICE CRAB, of Oyster Bay, I leave to my
daughter Lydia Horner, the shares of meadow, adjoining the meadow
once of Nicholas Simkins, in the town meadow,. And two shares by the
will of my brother-in-law Anthony Wright. I leave to my daughter Mary
Andrews, and my grandchild Job Townsend, all my land and meadow at
the South, and at the Plains, all which did belong to my brother,
Anthony Wright. I leave to my granddaughter Alice Townsend, one
little iron pot and pewter plate. My negro man is to be free, but he
is to pay £4 to Simon Cooper and James Townsend for the use of my
grandson Job Townsend. I leave to my three sons, Gideon Wright, Jacob
