  The will of Issac Finch, dated 15 June, 1748, probated 18 April 1749, as recorded in the Abstract of Wills - Liber 16, in the Collections of the New-York Historical Society for the year 1895 (New York: 1896), p. 214-5 is as follows: "In the name of God, Amen, I, Isaac Finch, of Goshen, in Orange County, through the goodness of God, tho' weak in body, yet of sound mind.' I leave to my wife all debts due to me, and she is to pay all debts I owe; And she is to have the use of the best room in the house where I now dwell, and all household goods, and a horse and all live stock, except 3 cows and 7 sheep; And she shall have the use of the south east half of my homestead and 1/2 of the profits of my grist mill and saw mill and farm, all of which are to remain in her hands until my son Solomon is of age, and after that the other half is for him. If she marries she is to have 12 pounds, out of the household goods. After her death the personal property and the stock are to be divided between my sons, Abraham, Daniel, John, and Nathaniel, and my daughter Ruth. I leave to my son Solomon, 1/2 the homestead where I now live, taken square across on the south east end with the appurtenances. And 1/2 the grist mill and saw mill and stream and roads to and from the mills, and 1/2 of its utensils; Also my small gun, and a horse. I leave to my son Samuel, my right in the mine tract which I purchased from Abijah Sans (Sands), lying at Mount Eve. I leave to my daughter Ruth, 40 shillings and a cow, besides the household stuff already called hers. I leave to my daughter Elizabeth a horse and some sheep, 'and a ten gallon Pot when her mother can spare it.' I leave to my sons Abraham and Daniel, all my rights of land which I have by my father, Abraham Finch, lying in the Patent of Wawayanda, except my homestead. I leave to my three sons, 'my three horses running at Poehack.' I leave to my sons John and Nathaniel all my rights of land which fell to me by my father, Abraham Finch, and my grandfather, Isaac Finch, in the bounds of Stanford in New England, and 'above the 8 mile line, in the tract called 8 mile and 4 mile." I leave to my son Isaac the northwest half of my homestead and 1/2 my mills, and my long gun, and I make him executor and trustee for my wife. Dated June 15, 1748. Witnesses, James Butler, Timothy Wood, Anthony Carpenter. Proved, April 18, 1749."
