Thomas Gach wrote his will on 23 April 1763, noting[5]:
"Item: I give and bequeath to my well beloved Wife Elizabeth the Use of all the above mentioned Lands and Premises, or so much thereof, as She shall be fit to demand, during her natural Life or Widowhood; Also I give and bequeath to my said Wife all my Moveables and Personal Estate whatsoever, and wheresoever, to be at her own proper Use and Disposal, she paying thereout all my just Debts and Funeral Charges."
He also named his wife Elizabeth as one of the executors of his will.
Elizabeth (Bloodgood) Gach died after her husband wrote his will in 1763, and before it was proved on 9 March 1770. The other executor, James Eddy of Woodbridge, filed an affidavit stating that the other executor (Elizabeth) was deceased. The exact date of Elizabeth's death is not known, and her burial place is not known[5].
