The fact is, that among this little coterie of English merchants and cap- tains and their famihes, events succeeded one another with bewildering rapidity. On the 15th of July, 1689, William Cox, then apparently in full healtli and vigor, executed his last will and testament, and on the 9th of August following, after the unfortunate occurrence whereby he had " receaved to much water in," his will was admitted to probate. By WILLIAM COX'S WILL 251 the I5th of May, 1691, Sarah Oort had about finis...hed her mourning for both her deceased husbands, for upon that day she took out letters of administration upon the estate of the late John Oort; while upon the next day, the 16th of May, a license was issued, under the forms of the colonial law, for her marriage to Captain William Kidd. The newly married couple resided for several years in the house which Mrs. Kidd's first husband, William Cox, had purchased, upon the present Pearl Street. This house had passed to Cox's widow by virtue of a very curious provision in the mil of her husband.
