Misc. Notes
From the Storrs book, Josiah Storrs lived in the Eastern part of Mansfield and his farm is still in possession of his descendants at the time the book was written. His will, which bears the date 25 Jan,1792, is drawn very carefully to insure the maintenance of his blind son, Josiah In it he bequeaths to his wife one third of his personal property and the use and improvement of one third of his personal estate during her life. He also gives his real estate and the remaining two thirds of his personal estate to his Son Ebinezer upon the condition that he in convenient time after my decease become bound in sufficient Bonds for the comfortable support and maintenance of my son, Josiah, during his natural life. He also leaves 50 pounds to his daughter Molly. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Josiah Storrs of Mansfield Conn. fourth son of Thomas Storrs of the same place, second son of Samuel Storrs of Sutton-cum-lound, Nottinghamshire.
