We may well believe that the reason why Rachel received no more was because she and her husband, Samuel Smith. Had already been provided for by Matthew; on Dec. 23, 1674, about four years before his death, he gave her 50_pounds worth of my comonage lot, halfe my home-lot, etc. (see Norwalk Land Records, folio 61; the volume has no index, and is badly out of binding.)
