"I Hepzibah Lyman alias Marsh, of Hadley in ye county of Hampshire, being weak and crazy in body, yet through the blessing and good hand of God on me in perfect memory and sound understanding yet knowing not the day of my departure out of this troublesome world" etc.
"As for my soule, that I commit to God that gave it to me and to Jesus Christ wch I hope hath redeemed it and to ye holy spirit wch I hope through Grace hath sanctified it. As for my body that I commit. to ye grave to be buried in a Comely and decent manner, there to rest till ye gen?? Ressurrection wn though sown in corruption [it] shall I hope be raised in glory, and soule and body being united togeather shall immediately pass into glory."
After willing her property she gives motherly advice: "Giving to him and to ye rest of my children solemn and strict charges ye they walk in peace and unitie one with another but above all ye they walk in ye feare of the Lord attending diligently in ye way of all God's. appointments for ye making sure and working out their own salvation with fear and trembling."

John Marsh d. 28, Sept. 1688, at Windsor, Ct., probably while on a visit to his daughter Hannah (Marsh) Loomis living there.
At the threshold of John Marsh's Hadley life he met with two bitter experiences, one the death of his father-in-law, Gov. John Webster, April 5, 1661; a great loss to his children and to Hadley. Noah Webster of spelling book and dictionary fame, was Gov. Webster's most distinguished descendant; but his two Hadley sons were not thrifty and much needed a father's care, so that John Marsh rather than they, came to represent their father. Indeed the widow of one of Webster's sons had the gift of a lot from the town, and suffered severely under charge of witchcraft.
The other trial, the following year, June 9, 1662, was the death of his wife Anne (Webster) Marsh, who had been his delight for twenty-two years, and yet now her sun went down at mid-day.
A flock of motherless children was about him, and after two years he married, in 1664, Hepzibah (Ford) Lyman, daughter of Thomas Ford and widow of Richard Lyman who had been from the first one of the most prominent men in Northampton. She had five Lyman children of ages not far from those of his own. The skies brightened for the two families, and two years later in 1666 his son John Marsh, aged about 23, married his new wife's daughter, Sarah Lyman. Soon after, the young couple moved to Hartford and lived in the old Marsh homestead all their lives of many years.JOHN MARSH'S WILL.
