The Will of William Hedges of East Hampton was part of a group of documents from the East Hampton Historical Society that is now in the Long Island Collection. No wife is identified, and using the names of children mentioned, this appears to be the will of William Hedges, the son of Stephen Hedges and the husband of Abiah Mulford Hedges, as per the genealogies in Jeannette Edwards Rattray's "East Hampton History and Genealogies." Abiah Mulford Hedges died in 1763, predating this document, which would explain why her name does not appear. Four sons are named, Stephen, William, Ezekiel, and Jeremiah. Jeremiah appears to have predeceased his father, and his son David is named in the will. Five daughters are also named, Hannah, Mary, Elizabeth, Phebe, and the fifth name is not fully clear, but William Hedges (1680-1768) did have a fifth daughter named Abiah.

The undersigned having entered into arrangements for the purchase of two blocks, or about twelve acres of ground, situate on the beautiful plain of Harlem, in the immediate vicinity of Harlem Bridge, at the distance of seven miles from the city of New-York, for the purpose of establishing there a Public School upon the principles of his Military and Scientific Academy at Middletown, (Con.) proposes to cause to be erected upon the premises mentioned, a Collegiate Building four stories and a basement high, calculated for the accommodation of 400 pupils; additional buildings for a commons, a chapel, recitation rooms, &c. to be erected as soon as circumstances will permit. To enable the undersigned to carry these objects into effect, he avails himself of the opportunity offered by his visit to New-York to present the following proposals to the New-York public. 1st. That a capital stock of not less than $50,000 should be formed, divided into shares of $100 each, to be subscribed for by such persons as may be friendly to the plan proposed, and to be paid in instalments of $20 per share, at such times as the Directors or Trustees, to be appointed by the subscribers for said stock, shall establish. 2d. That as soon as $25,000 of said capital stock shall have been subscribed for, a meeting should be called of the subscribers at a proper time and place, when the first instalment of $20 per share should be paid into the hands of Trustees or Directors to be chosen by the subscribers by ballot. 3d. That the first appropriation of the funds subscribed and paid in should go to pay for the ground above named at their first cost, viz. $65 per building lot, and which said ground shall be conveyed to the said Trustees or Directiors in trust for the subscribers and for the uses and purposes of a Public School, upon the plan above proposed. 4th. That the next appropriation of the funds subscribed and paid in should be for the erection of suitable buildings upon the plan above proposed, and in such other ways as the said Directors or Trustees shall deem conducive to the welfare of the institution. • 5th. As soon as the establishment shall have been completed, the undersigned would propose to rent the premises for the term of five years at the rate of seven per cent, interest per annum upon the whole capital, with liberty at the expiration of that time, to rent the said premises for a further term of years upon the same terms at the option of the undersigned, he engaging to keep the buildings in repair, all unavoidable wear and tear and deteriorations by time excepted. 6th. The undersigned would reserve to himself the privilege of relinquishing his superintendance and agency of said establishment at any time after five years from the commencement thereof, by giving to the Trustees or Directors one year's notice in writing. 7th. That every person who shall subscribe and actually pay into the hands of the said Trustees or Directors $1000 toward said capital stock, should have the privilege of sending one pupil to said institution for one year free of all expenses of tuition; and every person subscribing and actually paying as aforesaid $2000 to said capital stock, should have a similar privilege of sending one pupil for two years or two pupils for one year, and so on for large* subscriptions.
