The widow administered on the estate which was appraised at £292. William Marean was appointed guardian of his son William, and John Holbrook of Abiel. Thomas had the lands on condition he would pay suitable cash equivalent to his brothers and sister. By his death and that of Rebecca within a few years, the whole property came to the two younger sons.
