AUGUSTINE FISH of Bowden Magna in the County of Leicester, yeoman, 7 April, 1646,
proved 23 September, 1647, by Christian Fish the relict and executrix. To Thomas
Fishe my second son, and to my wife, during her life, and after her life ended to
Thomas and his heirs males forever one farm, whereon my eldest son liveth, called
by the name of Royses Farm, with all that John Fish had there during my life, both
in town and field; -- moreover seven "pastors" in Acharhads which sometimes did belong
to Palmer's House in the neather end, I give unto Thomas Fish and
his heirs males as aforesaid, with this caution and proviso that he shall pay
unto his youngest sister, Elizabeth Fish, one hundred marks at her age of
twenty three years or on her marriage day, which shall first happen, if her
marriage be with the liking of the overseers and her mother and brother.
If Thomas Fish died without issue male his land to return unto Bartholomew
Fish. In like manner if Bartholomew die without issue male it is to
return to William Fish which is in New England, if he be living. I
give unto Christian my daughter the cottage house wherein "Jhon"
Warde and his sister liveth, with that spot of ground adjoining bought of
Richard Watts, to enter at the death of Jhon Warde, with one cow and
five sheep. I give unto Jhon Halliake the eldest son of William Halliake, after
his father and mother's decease, the three acres which did belong to Palmer's
farm, unto him forever; and all the rest of his other children which
will be ruled by parents and grandmother I give five pounds apiece, to be
paid at their marriage or at twenty years old. I give unto Bartholomew Fish
my youngest son five pounds. I give unto William Fish in New England, if
he return, five pounds. Further to my son Thomas Fish, after the lease
is expired which now my son John Fish holdeth, called by the name of
Walters his close, to my son Thomas and his heirs forever. To my grandchildren
at Brigstock, to help to buy every one a sepp,* ____ nobles apiece.
I also give unto my grand children at Thorpe, in Rutland, three ewes, to
be given at the discretion of my executrix. I also give unto my servants
half a crown apiece more over than their wages. I make my wife full and
sole executrix, praying Thomas Fish my second son, to assist her with his
power. I also wish, if be thought good unto my executrix, to give unto
my eldest son's children two nobles.
The Test. of Augustine Fishe "Ritten" with his won hand. Intreating
these two my sons, Edward Marriat and Robert Sly to be overseers.
wit: MAurice Dix and William Whittwell.
