Notes:

Roswell's will, written earlier in the year of his death, is partially reproduced and summarized here:
(Roswell leaves his entire estate to his wife, Sarah, for so long as she lives. Subsequent to his wife's death, the remains shall be equally divided between his children William, Ogden, Harriet, and Cornelia, subject to "the restrictions and limitations concerning my son William".)
"whereas my son William Bradley has hereafter been the subject of habits of Intemperance which have rendered him at times incapable of managing his own business or providing for himself, buthas recently pledged himself to abstain therefrom and hath thus far duly fulfilled his pledge. I therefore in view of his past and present conduct and with a desire to promote his futurecomfort advantage and support, do further will direct and declare as gratification restrictions and limitations on the Second article above mentioned, that if he shall adhere to his present determination to abandon wholly his habits of Intemperance and shall at the time of the decease of my said Wife, so far wholly have conquered the Same, that in the opinion of my ... Executor it would be safe for him the Said William for his own good to take charge and management of business and his own future, then and in that case the said William shall come into possession of his portion of my Estate above devised and given equally with the other devisees. ... But in case the said William shall return to his former habit of Intemperance...I further will order and direct that my son George Bradley, who is hereinafter appointed my Executor, take possession and control of the share of my Estate so designed for my son William ... and hold the same as trustee for the benefit of the said William."
(The will continues to give specific instructions on taking care of poor William should he return to his Intemperance.)

Notes:

Jabez was a soldier in the French and Indian War and, in fact, appears to have died in battle.
According to War 1675-1775 Colonial, Volume 1, a Jabez Bradley was in private service in 1757 (original Vol VII, entry 21a).
I was given permission to examine the original document that contained the reference to Jabez in private service, titled Vol 7 French War. It appears to be a log of fiscal and supply activity at Fort William Henry around 1757. From the page where Jabez is mentioned is:
(Page Heading) In Colony of Connecticut to Capt. (??) and
the company under his command and Lt. Joseph Pitkins
Regiment for their service at the time of the alarm for
relief of Fort William Henry and parts adjacent August, Anno
1757
(...)
John Abbot, Abnea West, Thather Lothrop,...,Samuel
Huntington, Jabez Bradley,...31 Privates in Service 14 days
each @ 34 pr. mo. each makes 24.16
This section obviously is a record of payments made.
The Archives probate index lists Jabez Bradley of Tolland, dated 1758, Hartford District.
I examined the microfilm pertaining to that entry, and found the following:
An inventory of the estate of Jabez Bradley. It reads, in part:

Hartford County Tolland October 10th 1758.
We the subscribers hereunto, being desired to apprise the
estate of Jabez Bradley late of Tolland dec. and being under
oath have apprised the same as hereafter particularly we
have entered the same.

At the bottom of the document are the signatures of three men, the "apprisors". Assumedly, the above valuations are in Pounds, Shillings, and (Pence?). The total valuation appears to be around 530 Pounds. This inventory appears on one 9 by 12 inch sheet. On a separate microfilm page, but what may be the reverse side of the inventory, is a note that Hannah and Jabez (Jr) Bradley apparently filed the inventory with the court.
There was also a document dated 5 January 1759 that appears to be a performance bond for the executors of Jabez's estate, Hannah and Josiah Bradley. Essentially, they paid 300 pounds bond to the Judge as surety for the execution of the estate, with a final accounting due the court by the 5th of January 1760.
The document is signed by the marks of Hannah Bradley, Josiah Bradley, and Henry Bradley. The document is a pre-printed form, with names and dates handwritten.
According to "Rolls of Connecticut Men in the French and Indian War", Volume II (Collections of the CT Historical Society Vol X), Jabez either "Dyed, Deserted, or Captivated" on 14 September,1758. Since he never returned home, it is probably safe to say that he did not desert. Therefore, I believe it is proper to assume that he died on that day, or very soon afterward. He is listed as having been in the 12th Company under Captain Chapman.

Jabez married Hannah (Bush) King on 15 Dec 1749 in Tolland, CT. Hannah died on 30 Jun 1797. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

John bought land from his brother Samuel in Colchester, Connecticut in 1746, and apparently moved there straight away. His home appears to have been located in a neighborhood known as Bull Hill, close to what is now known as East Hampton. John acquired additional lands in Colchester, Middletown, and Chatham. The home stood at a corner of the now abandoned road that led from New London to New Haven and Hartford, and he kept a tavern and general store there.
Up to the day of his death, John kept himself busy about his barn. On the final day, feeling a bit ill, he returned to the house and asked for a warm drink. Before it could be prepared,he had expired in his chair.
On his stone is engraved "Sacred to the memory of Mr. John Isham who died March 2nd A.D. 1802 in YE 81st. year of his Age Make Jesus Christ your Friend".

John married Dorothy Foote on 19 Dec 1751 in Colchester, Connecticut. Dorothy (daughter of Ephraim Foote and Sarah Chamberlain) was born on 23 Apr 1733 in Colchester, Connecticut; died on 2 Nov 1790 in Colchester, Connecticut. [Group Sheet]
