In the name of God, Amen, the 9th of May, 1715. I, John Ferris, of the Borrough and towne of Westchester, being sick and weak. I leave to my son John 5 shillings, and to my sons Samuel, James and Jonathan each 5 shillings. I leave to my son Peter all my housing, out housing lands, orchards and rights, and my five home lots and all the meadow lying at the rear of said home lots. Also my lot of land lying betwixt the highway that leads to Thomas Haddens mill, and the way that leads from Brunckses to Stony Brook. Also a L50 right of commonage. Also my tract of land at Brunckses containing 24 acres. But it shall be provided always that there shall be a rod square, free for all Friends and friendly people to bury their dead, in the place, where they formerly buried without any hindrance. My son Peter shall pay to my two daughters, Phebe Burling and Hannah Mott, L20 each. If he refuse to pay this, then my executors shall sell the orchard and meadow adjoining to the land of Richard Ward, and pay the same. And my son Peter shall not sell any part of said lands or houses without the consent of my executors. I also leave to my son Peter all that my 50 acre lot lying in the Long Reach, provided he defends it, but if he will not, then to any of my children who will offer to defend the same. I leave to my wife Grace one third of my personal estate, and all the rest to my four daughters, Martha, Phebe, Hannah and Sarah. I make my sons, John, James, and Jonathan, executors.
