Will

In his will dated 6 December 1834, beloved wife Mary receives use and improvement on the west side of what is called the fore lot. She also receives the use of the east room, the chamber above, and the kitchen as long as Mary takes care of daughter Abigail. Mary also receives three cows, one swine, and other provisions for her support. Mary also receives one hundred dollars for her own use. Beloved son Charles receives the lot of land called Marston pasture as well as other land bequests. Part of the land adjoins land that his son James bought from Isaac Bodwell. Daughter Abigail receives four hundred dollars to be paid yearly and also the use of a chamber as long as she is unmarried. After her mother's decease, Abigail is to have wood brought to her door if she is capable of living by herself. Daughter Anna Hunt receives four hundred dollars in addition to what she has received and grandson Alfred Ingalls Hunt receives fifty dollars at age twenty-one. Son Joseph Fry Ingalls receives all the remainder of the estate. If either of his sons or daughter Abigail die without issue, their parts will be divided among the surviving children. If the money left to Abigail is not enough to support her, then Joseph F. is to pay three-fourths and son Charles is to pay one-fourth of the amount needed for her support. Son Joseph Fry Ingalls is sole executor.
