In his will, dated 17 December 1670 and proved 19 June 1673, "Thomas Borman Senior" of Ipswich, weak in body, bequeathed to "my wife" the use and benefit of the entire farm during her life, also cattle and household stuff; after wife's death, land was to return to "my son Thomas"; to "my daughter Joanna" on the day of her marriage or at age 22 years, her portion to the value of £100; to "my son Daniel" six acres leaving Thomas right of first refusal should Daniel wish to sell; to "my daughter Mary, the wife of Robert Kinsman that is to say to her children," £20; to "my daughter Martha the wife of Thomas Loe to her children" £20; to "iny son Daniel" £8 for the use of "his two sons at the age of one and twenty years"; to "my son Kinsman" the right to a footpath to go to his land "he bought of me"; to "my son Daniel and Robert Kinsman" ten acres more or less; "my brother Daniel" to live "with my wife while she lives" and after her death "my son Thomas" to maintain him; wife sole executor; "my well beloved friends" Simon Tomson and Thomas Burnam., overseers [EPR 2:349-51). A codicil dated 3 May 1673 allowed "my wife" the right to dispose of cattle, household goods and land "as need shall require" [EPR 2:351). The inventory of the estate, taken 26 May 1673, totalled £553 6s. 6d., of which £350 was real estate: "the dwelling house, barn & outhousing with all the lands adjoining," about 42 and a half acres, £280; and "ten acres of planting land" at Button's Point, £70 [EPR 2:351).
