Will
John Staple, Senior, of Weymouth, Massachusetts, wrote his will March 18, 1681. In it he named, in order of their appearance, sons John, Abraham and Joseph; son-in-law Samuel Sumner and "my daughter, Rebecca, his wife"; son-in-law Increase Sumner and "my daughter, Sarah, his wife". He names his son, John Staple and son-in-law Increase Sumner to be joint executors of his estate. There was no mention of a wife in his will. Son, Abraham, was treated differently than his siblings in the will: to be given 20 shillings within three months of John's death. The reason for this is written, "For as much as I was at charge to procure him a trade and have given him already other estate".
