NOTE. Ebenezer, junior, bequeathed the homestead to his wife, who by her
will directed that it should be divided among her four children, Prudence,
Sarah, Nancy, and Joshua, the house going to the daughters for their home
during life, a part of the land being given to Joshua. The three daughters
lived there unmarried till they died at the ripe old ages above mentioned,
when the property came into the possession of Rebecca, daughter of their
brother Joshua, who is not the sole owner [1897].
