| 24350 | Tradition has it that Sarah was the daughter of John Folger, who was the first of that name in New England & one of the settlers of Martha's vineyard. Some sources show Sarah Smith as the daughter of John Folger & Meribah Gibbs of Nantucket. An article in New York Genealogical & Biographical Record 121:19 (Jan. 1990) argues that there is no real evidence of that, & proposes that she may instead have been Sarah Hammond, daughter of William & Elizabeth (Paine) Hammond of Watertown, Mass. . An address read before the Order of Colonial Lords of Manors in America, April 1926 by Mrs. Charles Hilton Brown: "WILL of Sarah, the widow of Richard, made her WILL 20 Jan. 1707/8, bequeathing to her "son Richard all of the houses, orchards, lands that my husband left me in possession of" & "a necke called James Nieck to be equally divided amongst my six sons." Ref: Smiths of Smithtown. . 1702 Nov 24, Sarah Smith, in a petition on file in the office of the Secretary of State in Albany, praying to have a decree of the Court of Equity in relation to her husband's estate, states that she now has "50 children & grandchildren to provide for." * 1708 Jan 20 WILL of Sarah Smith In the name of God Amen I Sarah Smith relict of Richard Smith, Sen, deceased of Smithtown in ye County of Suffolk & in ye Province of New Yorke, Doe make my last will & Testament in manner following: First I commit my soul into ye hands of God which gave it, & my body to a decent burial at ye discretion of my Executor hereafter named, in comfortable hopes of a happy & glorious resurrection thro, the power & merits of my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. & as for my outward estate, after debts & my funeral charges are paid, I give & bequeath as followeth: Imp. I give & bequeath to my son Richard Smith, his eldest son Richard all the houses, orchards, & all my lands that my husband left me in ye possession of & that I am at this present in possession of, he yielding & paying me £10 a year & yearly as long as I shall live & at my death to have ye above mentioned premises & his heirs forever, with all the privileges & accommodations thereunto belonging. I also give my daughter Elizabeth one trunk with all my linens & wearing clothes. I give to my son Richard's 2 daughters my silk dress? & scarfe. I give a Necke called James Neck to be equally divided amongst my 6 sons Jonathan, Richard, Job, Adam, Samuel, & Daniel. I give my son Richard's eldest sonne my blunderbuss. I give my son Richard's wife my cloake. I give all ye household stuff not here bequeathed to be equally divided among my 6 sons above mentioned. I give Mr. George Philips a Cow, & all ye rest of my stock to be equally divided amonst my 6 sons above mentioned, it must be understood that what I have given my son Richard is to oblige him to quit & null all debts ye he pretends is owing to him by my husband or my self, so it may prevent future difference among my children, & also all ye rest of my children to null & void all debts from husband or myself, & to accept of what I have given them in full satisfaction. I desire also what I gave Mary Petreche she may have it & to be maintained equally amongst my children. I hereby null & revoke all former wills & instruments whatsoever & Constitute & appoint my well beloved son Richard Smith to be my executor & to take care & see that this is my last will & testament I have hereunto affixed my hand & seale this 20 January 1708. The real estate mentioned in the will was probably the land deeded to Richard Smith JR., by both Richard & Sarah Smith, SR, on 31 Aug 1688 & on the same day deed back by Richard Smith JR., to his mother, Sarah Smith. - - - | FOLGER, Sarah (I396)
