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.

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.
