     "In his will of 19 March 1757, he bequeathed to his 'sons-in-law' Peter Jeneson, Israel Jeneson, Robert Jeneson and Samuel Jeneson, to his 'daughters-in-law' Sarah Severen, Jane How, and his three 'grandchildren' 'born of his daughter-in-law' Eunice Richardson deceased. These were his step-children. He also bequeathed to his kinsmen David, Timothy, Daniel, and Josiah Brooks and Anna Hoar, who were the five children of his brother Daniel. Then he bequeathed to the two children of his Kinsman Eben Miriam, deceased. This Ebenezer Merriam was apparently his nephew by his sister Elizabeth (Brooks) Merriam (Middlesex Probate 1858)."1
