I, Ann Richbell, of the town of Mamaroneck, in the county of Westchester, in the Province of New York, gentlewoman, being sick and weak in body, but of good and perfect memory, (blessed be the Lord for it,) who hath now put it into my heart to set my house in order, by making this my last will and testament, in manner as followeth : Imprimis, I give and bequeath my soul into the hands of Almighty God, my creator, and my body to the earth from whence it came, to a decent and comely burial at the direction of Colonel Caleb Heathcote.

"Mr. Richbell Mott and Lt. John Horton, I make my executors of this my last will and testament, and for this worldly estate which it has pleased the Lord to endow me withal, &c. Imprimis, to my daughter Elizabeth the sum of 807. and my gold ring with the emerald stone in it, and my little Bible. To my daughter Anne, the sum of 60Z. and also my gold chain. To my grand-daughter, Anna Gedney, Mary Williaus and Mary Mott, each AOL and to my said grand-daughter Mar}', my biggest gold ring. I give and bequeath to my son-inlaw James Mott, 14Z. and to my grandson James Mott, the son of Capt. James Mott, 15Z." &c. &c.

Elizabeth and Anne, the two devisees mentioned in the above will, were the sole issue of the patentee. Elizabeth, the eldest, married Captain James Mott, (son of Adam Mott.)
