McCracken, pg 163 (cont. from The American Genealogist, Vol. 57, pg 76.). Died at age 84 at Simsbury of the falling of a small tree. His will was dated 29 May 1759, probated 2-3 Nov 1761, witnessed by three, John Owen, Esther Owen and Rosecitte Owen. The handwriting of the two women is no similar that one suspects one signed for both. The will leaves a third to beloved wife Mary. Having already given by deeds of conveyance to beloved grand children Jonathan Holcomb and Michael Holcomb and Ame Holcomb, the children and heirs of beloved and eldest son Jonathan Holcomb now deceased, "the full of the portion I Designe for them," he now bequeaths to beloved son Azariah Holcomb and his heirs and assigns forever, "he paying all my Just Debts, and Legacies hereafter mentioned, my Dwelling house and Barn and home Lot and Orcharding, together with all my Lands thereto adjoining, Lying on Salmon Brook, on both sides the Brook, and also my Lot in the Estwoods in Salmon Brook Society near Thomas Bacons Land in partnershipwith Edward Matson, and also I give unto my Said Son Azariah all my Moveable Estate, to be for him and his heirs forever." To beloved daughter Mary, wife of Amos Case, 10 pounds to be paid withinone year after decease, "together with what I have already given her", to be paid her within one year. To beloved grandson Abner Holcomb all "my Common or undevided Lands Lying in Simsbury". Son Azariah Holcomb sole executor. The will is signed by an elderly but not senile signature. The probation is interesting. The two female witnesses swore on 2 Nov 1761, John Owen Esq., the other witness, swore before J. Talcott, Just. Peace. The inventory, not dated, was taken by Nathaniel Holcomb, Peter Rice and Hos. Willcocks and came to 289/15/2, wit h additional 3/14/6. The items include the usual clothing, tools, farming implements, etc., and 13 barrels of cider, and though I miss any firearms, there are several powder horns, powder, and brass bullet moulds. The executor presented but did not sign an account of his expenses coming to 28/7/9. The deceased had married first, ca. 1700, Mary Buell, born 23 Dec 1677, died at Simsbury, 21 June 1720, daughter of Peter Buell (William) by his first wife Martha Cogan and she was the mother of all the children; second, on 22 June 1721, Mary Saxton, widow of William Gillett, who had died at Simsbury, 27 Jan 1718/19.
