Know all men by these presents that I, WILLIAM FROST, of Matenecock in the

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

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

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

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.
