  • Timothy2 was the last son of the first wife. The date of his birth can only be approximated. In his will, made 3 May, 1719, he made his son Timothy3 executor; if Timothy3 was only 21 years old at that time, the marriage of Timothy2 must have been prior to 1698 ; if twenty-five years of age when he married, his birth must be dated as early as 1673. He was probably born before that time.

  • Timothy2 made his will at Berwick, 3 May, 1719. It was proved 8 July following, his son Timothy3 executor. He willed to his wife one-half of his estate during her natural life, and after her death, the whole to his sons Timothy3 and Samuel.3 He gave to his daughters Mary3 and Sarah3 £20 each, not to be paid until the whole of his estate came into his son's hands.
