• Notes

  Estate dispute court case- 17 April 1673 Suffolk County Court, Cambridge, Massachusetts Case No. 1214 - Testimony of Mathew Gibbs 17 April 1673 Testimony of Mathew Gibbs in 1673 court case started filed by Joseph Bradish (full brother of Mathew’s wife, Mary Bradish Gibbs), against John Bradish (Mary and Joseph’s half-brother) and others. The Court proceedings appear to have been filed because Robert Bradish (Joseph and Mary’s father), following the death of his first wife, married a second time to Vashti Bradish. When Robert died, Vashti was left a life estate in his land, with the balance of the estate to be split between Robert’s children. Somewhere along the way, the Court (or Executors) apparently allowed her to tap into the value of the principle of the estate to the extent that the cash flow from the estate did not cover her needs, or the executors of her Estate sold Robert’s land. The end result was the likelihood that all of the proceeds of the remaining estate would go to Vashti’s only surviving son (by Robert), John. When Joseph went to the Executor of Vashti’s estate, Thomas Savage (Thomas Savage is listed as an Executor of Vashti’s estate - it is unclear whether he was also an executor for the remainder of Robert’s estate), he was advised that he had sold the land. This triggered Joseph’s action. It appears that Joseph’s action was filed on his own behalf, as well as on behalf of his brothers and sisters. Mathew Gibbs’ testimony was a small part of the action, and is one of half a dozen recorded testimonies in the court records. Mathew Gibbs’ testimony indicates that he was 58 years old when the testimony was taken on 17 April 1673, giving him a birth year of 1615.
