The wills of Israel Smith and his wife Elizabeth Arnold Smith Hawkins (8th great grandparents) contain inventories along with written wishes. Israel was a yeoman or landowner. He died at 37 in 1726. His inventory included: books, livestock, tools, seeds, a gun, a feather bed, blankets, linens, clothing, kitchenware, including pewter platters, 10 pounds of woolen yarns, thirty eight pounds of flax, spinning wools, furniture, tobacco and candlesticks.

Elizabeth outlived 2 husbands, she died at 74 in 1758. She left specific items for her daughters and granddaughters. Naomi Smith Angell inherited a Square Table and five pounds old Tenor. Daughter Elizabeth received the Long Cloke, Deborah got the Kettle and divided the featherbed with Ruth. Elizabeth’s will directed that her best buttons were for her granddaughters, “My will is that my Grand Daughter Elisabeth Hopkins have my large Silver Sleeve Buttons. Item, I give my Grand Daughter Martha Smith my Small Silver Sleeve Buttons, my looking Glass.”

Elizabeth’s will was transcribed at Rhode Island USGenweb, part of RootsWeb, a goldmine of early online family history collaboration begun in 1996, a free collaborative site, then purchased by Ance$try with a promise of preservation. Some of RootsWeb exists, a lot is erased.
