      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      Know all men by these presents that I, WILLIAM FROST, of Matenecock in the
      Township of Oysterbay, Queens County, yeoman, being this twenty-sixth day
      of March, 1781, perfectly well in health of body, altho' I am far advanced
      in years. My executors to pay all my just debts and funeral charges that
      may arise. I leave to my son William, the one sixth part of my salt
      meadows in the Great Meadows, so called, at Metenecock, and the equal
      third part of my creek thatch and marshes at Pine Island; together with
      the equal third part of my plain land lying upon the great plains in
      Robert Williams' purchase and Patent. My executors to pay in money ¶100 to
      my said son William. Should he die and have no child, then all that is
      given to him is to return to my other two sons, Stephen Frost Charlton and
      Charles Frost Charlton in equal shares, but the ¶100 to go to my
      grandsons, Charles Thorne and Stephen Thorne, sons of Daniel Thorne,
      deceased, in equal shares. Unto my other two sons, Stephen Frost Charlton
      and Charles Frost Charlton, all the remaining part of my moveable estate,
      such as chattels, horses and stock of all kinds, except ¶50, which is to
      go to my grandsons, Charles and Stephen Thorne. I make my two sons,
      Stephen Frost Charlton and Charles Frost Charlton; my two beloved friends,
      William Cock and John Cock, executors; they to be reasonably paid for
      their time, trouble and expense.

      Witnesses, Penn Frost, Prior Townsend, Robert Mitchill Baxter, all of
      Oysterbay. Proved, March 26, 1781.

      Either the date on which this will was proved has been transcribed
      incorrectly, or the date of death of 29 Sep 1782 as found in the data of
      Josephine C. Frost is in error. As the will states it was written on 26
      Mar 1781, it is obvious that it is the date stated above for the proving
      of the will is in error, unless William wrote his will, died the same day,
      and it was proved before the sun set.
