Excerpt from A Digest of the Early Connecticut Probate Records, Vol. 2: Hartford District, 1700-1729
The law allowed a Widow the use of one-third part of the real estate of her deceased husband during her life, and one-third of his personal estate forever but the husband, by will, could devise to his wife the use of one-third of his real estate while she remained his widow. So, I give to my wife her dower rights was a shortened way of stating the case.
