His will is dated 23 July, 1807, codicil added 7 May, 1811, proved 20 May, 1811, and names wife, EHzabeth, and all his children but Ezra and Hannah, as then living, but alludes to Nathan as being absent or missing, and provides that " if he do not return in 1 years," his share was to go to the other heirs."
