About this item

Thomas Wells of Hadley, Massachusetts, died in 1676 at age 56, leaving no will. His widow remarried eighteen months later. When she died in 1691 at age 60, the courts drew up a distribution of her estate to insure that the heirs would receive their fair share. The distribution recognizes the nine surviving children, and awards them each a sum of money, noting the amounts already received.
