Individual Details
Isaac Prouty
(18 Nov 1689 - 2 Apr 1754)
Isaac was a farmer of considerable wealth, buying and selling a good deal of land. On March 30, 1754, he sold land to his son Isaac, his wife Elizabeth joining in the deed. When the signatures were attested May 22, 1754, both grantors had passed away. He had made his will, which was proved May 6, providing a home for his wife as long as she remained his widow; made money bequests to all the children except Isaac to whom he gave the house and lands; gave his daughter Elizabeth the privilege of living in the house so long as she remained unmarried. Through his eight sons he became the ancestor of a large proportion of the Prouty family in America.
