I give to Abraham Preble, my servant, five pounds, and to Anne Joyce, my maid, forty shillings, to be paid to every of them within two years after my decease. I give to every of my servants which served me without wages, five shillings apiece, in token of rememberance. Payment to be made to Margery Baker, and she to have a dwelling in my house as before. The reparations of the church, the poor of the parish, Mr Barden, minister, son Edward, wife Mary, my two sisters (not named). I give unto Griffin Roches and Jane his wife, my house and orchard lying at Court Wood gate, in the parish of Hynton, to have and to hold to them during the life of the said Jane, and after her death I give them to Weston Clerke, and to his heirs forever.

    Notes:

    Per Lewis W. Griffin: The will of Walter Colepepir mentions daughter Elizabeth Welford, and the will of Walter's wife, mentions daughter Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Wylford. The line is going back to Charlemagne. There is a complete report on the early English Culpeppers, from the hard to find article "Sussex Colepepers" from the 1904 volume of "Sussex Archaeological Collections." The research back to Charlemagne was done by a U. S. graduate student while in London for a six months study, in her spare time. Sources: Per E-mail from Lewis W.
