Notes
Will
In his will written 10 September 1813, Joel Taylor bequeaths to dearly beloved wife Sarah the improvement on one-third of all of his estate. He bequeaths to "only and dearly beloved child" Katharine Taylor fifty dollars, and as she was entitled to wages after she was eighteen, she can take the wages owed to her in the form of household furnishings. He leaves to the town of Thornton two-thirds of his personal and real estate for the building of a meeting house as long as it is built within five years and is the size of the Compton meeting house. In addition, one hundred dollars is to be used for the settlement of a good gospel minister. After Sarah's decease, her thirds also goes to the town. Deacon Moses Foss was named executor. On 18 March 1814, Joel Taylor added a codicil in which the dower thirds are to be in the hands of the town but retained for the use of Katharine and her heirs if she has any. On 18 April 1814, he added another codicil as he believed his bequest to Katharine was deficient and increased the bequest to two hundred-fifty dollars.New Hampshire.
