His father's will, dated 16 Dec 1767, leaves eldest son Noah the northerly half of a lot of land at Grafton lying in a Swamp called Wild [Catt?], £10-11-8, and one-third of the remainder of property purchased of Benjamin Willard on 7 Oct 1766. It would seem that father and son were estranged, since the usual custom would have been for the eldest son to inherit the family farm. Furthermore, Noah was named sole executor, but wrote Judge Chandler, 6 Apr 1768, to "Hereby Inform You that I Utterly Refuse to accept of ye trust Reposed in me as Presenter to ye above Will." Noah's brother Peter was appointed in his stead.
