In the name of God, Amen. I John Whipple senior of Ipswich in New-England, being at this present time, of perfect understanding and memory, though weak in body, committing my soul into the hands of Almighty God, and my body to decent burial in hope of resurrection unto eternal life by the merit and power of Jesus Christ my most merciful savior and redeemer, do thus dispose of the temporary estate which God hath graciously given me.

Item I give unto my daughter Sarah Goodhew twenty pounds, and all the rest of my household goods my will is that they shall be equally divided between my three daughters aforesaid but for their other legacies my will is that they should be paid them within two years after my decease. And if it should so fall out with any of my daughters above said should be taken away by death before that time of payment be come, my will is that the respective legacies be paid to their heirs when they come of age. Likewise I give unto Anthony Potter my son in law some times, forty shillings.

Moreover I give unto Jennet my beloved wife ten pounds, which my will is, yet it should be paid her besides the fourteen pounds, and ye annuity of six pounds a year engaged unto her in the articles of agreement before our marriage. Concerning the four-score pounds, which is to be returned back to her after my decease, my will is that it should be paid, both for time, and manner of Pay, according to ye said Agreement, one third part in wheat, mault, and Indian Corn in equal proportions, the other two thirds in neat cattle under seven year old.
