"Elsen, Abraham, of Wethersfield, Connecticut, left a widow and two daughters, one 3 years and the other one year and a half old. (Hannah and Sarah) The inventory of his estate, taken 8 May 1648, was valued at £99.11. The widow was admitted to administer to his estate. 9 Mar 1647 The inventory was presented in Court. 6 Dec 1649, the court sequestered the house, homelot and meadow (valued at 40.08) of the widow of Abraha Elsing, now wife of Jarvis Mudge, for the use and benefit of the two daughters of Elsing. The entire rent of the premises be reserved for the children's use until the "rent of the sd. land shall make upp the sd. £40.-08-00 to bee 2-3 of the sum of the whole Estate that the sd. Inventory does ammount unto". 2/3 of the estate would be about £66. A later accounting (16 Jun 1655) added 18.11.07.[1]
