Among other provisions, Job gives freedom to his "Negro man, Jack," along with three whole suits of apparel. All his Negro servants are to be set free after the decease of his wife, son Job, and his descendants. He also provided for relief of the poor of the church in Newport to which he belonged. The executors were Joseph Sanford, shopkeeper; Elisha Shearman, mariner; and Gardner Thurston, cooper.
