The following is the Will of James Hinds AI, James Haynes being weak in bodie, but by divine providence in perfect memorie do make this my last Will and Testament. AImpris, I doe give and bequeath that small estate the Lord hath been pleased to lend me to my loving wife Mary Haynes my children being smale for to bring them upp withall only my tooles that belong to my calling I give them all to my oldest sonn John Haynes.
A2d, My will is that my children continue with my wife till they be twenty one years of age, the older laboring to be a help to bring upp the younger, unless Providence order it otherwise that she shall dispose of herself in marriage and then shall see or have cause to put any of them to some honest trade or calling. AI leave it to her & my loving friends Mr. John Youngs, Sen : & John Herbert my overseers to dispose of, or in case she should not dispose of herself in marriage, that she finds not herselfe able to govern them, or that it bee not advantagious to the family to keep them all at home, then I leave it to her, and my aforesaid overseers to dispose of them. In testimony hereof I have sett my hand the 1 March 1652. Southold.
