FROM OUR VICINITY By James Shepard v All of the wills referred to in this paper were made by men who had served or were ahout 1o serve in ene of our several wars prior to the year Peguot War 1636 - 1637 We have a veeord of 8T men from Hartford, Windsor and Wethersfield who served in the Pequot war, The estates of 39 of these men have heen probated at Hartford, together with u will 4s to 21 of these estates. Only four of these wills make any rvefer to serviee as a soldier, although service may be implied by the will of John Purkas who ueathed 1o a son certain war like implements. Only three of the AT men from the river towns are known te have living in the year 1706, viz rhomas Tihbals, who died in John Stanley, who died in 1708, and was the progenitor our New Rritain Stanleyvs, and Geovrge Chappell, who died in 1709, It is not known that any one of these Pequot so'diers made a will prior to entering into the serviee John Purkas of Hartford was probably the first Pe- quot soldier from 1} three river towns to make a will and the first to puss away His will {8 dated Oet, 15, 1445 and his inventory was taken the month “1 John Purkas doc wife my sole executor uppon my whole estate, my children, and it Is my will that my wife shall pc louse and land for her prpe the whole time of her life x x x my mynd is that if my sonne shall live to the age of eighteen yeares that he ghall have my gunne, weh is a logke and my sword and banda L and rest, and my long crosscut sawe and my betell rings and three wedges.
