NYGBR v13 p143 (July 1882)
"His widow Bridget died in New York in January, 1721-2, and left a will,
made shortly previous to her death, in which she names her "only son
Vincent" and her two daughters Catharine and Flora, and her grandson
Peter Mathews, bequeathing the latter her late husband's silver watch
and "a little desk which his father now hath, together with my husband's
writing desk which now stands in my parlour."
