Surname Saturday ~ RINDGE, RING from Ipswich, Massachusetts


RINDGE/RING

Daniel Rindge arrived as an immigrant first to Roxbury, Massachusetts, and in 1639 he removed to Ipswich.  He bought the Emerson house in 1648 as his homestead.  He was a fisherman and also ran a tavern for several  years.  He was licensed to keep an “ordinary” but “not to draw beer above a penny a quart, and to provide meate [food] for men & cattell”.   In 1649 Daniel Ringe was ordered to “attend on the green (South Green) and the cow herd was obliged to keep the herd on one Sunday in four.”  [This ordinance referred to dividing up the duty of watching the cows]. 

Daniel Rindge’s will was dated 5 February and proved 25 March 1661.

The last will and testament of Daniel Rindge of Ipswich, this 5th day of february, 1661. In the name of God, amen, I Daniel Rindge, being of pfect memory and understanding do dispose of what outward estate that God hath given me, and in the manner as followeth:
In the first place I commit my soul to almighty God and my body to decent buryall:

I give unto Mary, my beloved wife, one third part of my ffarme now in the hands of Daniel Davison, during the terme of her natural life; and after her decease to be divided amongst my three sonnes,--the eldest to have a double share thereoff.

I give and bequeathe unto my three sonnes, Daniel, roger and Isaack, my ffarme above Sd, to bee divided amongst them: the eldest to have a double part; then the two youngest to be equal, and they to take possession thereof at the age of one-and-twenty: my wives third part being reserved for her, during her life; and then her third part of be divided according to ye proportion above sayd.

I give and bequeathe unto my three daughters, Mary, Susanna, and Sarah, thirty pounds to each of them, and they to have possession thereof, at the age of sixteen, or at the time of their marriage.

I leave my house and lands now in ye possession of Thomas Wayt, unto my wife, * * and I will when my youngest two daughters shall bee of age, that if they desire it, they may have the same for their portions: allowing the overplus of their portions to my other Daughter, as part of her portion; or if they so desire it not, to be left to ye executors to dispose of for ye discharge of my daughters portions.

My mind and will is that if my eldest son shall dye without children, that his portion shall be left to the two younger Brothers, the elder of them two to have a double share thereof, provided that he allow to each of his sisters five pounds: and if both the eldest dye childless, the youngest to inherit their portions, allowing to each of my Daughters ten pounds, or if the youngest leave no children, the two eldest inherit his portion, the eldest having a double share: and if the two youngest leave no children the eldest to inherit their portions, paying to each of my Daughters Ten pounds.

If my wife marryeth, my mind is, her husband shall give sufficient security for what estate he is possessed of by my wife, for the discharge of my children's portions.

The remainder of my estate I leave to my wife to dispose of at her decease equally amongst all my children.

My mind is that if my wife marryeth, my children shall have liberty if they desire it, to be disposed of to good services, if they shall think meet to whom they are * * which so confirmed, I have here unto set my hand, this third day of February, 1661.

  1. Heather. I enjoy reading these posts that go back to the 17th century. I need to work on my husband's line, which is the only line going back that far. One thing I notice is that when you transcribed his will you included all the odd spellings, which I like a lot. I've always wondered if I should do that when I transcribe. Thanks for all your excellent posts during the year.
