-In his will, he left to his son Daniel the "parcell of land that he now lives on" a total of 16 acres, and divided the rest of his land between his two sons Daniel and John. He also left his son Daniel his "best flock bed and my green rug" and "two of my four pewter platters". He also left to Daniel's daugher Mary "one pewter porriger" and 2s 6d money.
