Notes

He wrote his will in Curry Rivel on Oct. 3, 1716 under the title of Yeoman. He named his sons William, John,Thomas, Robert, Jeffery, Jacob, Marmaduke, and daughters Elizabeth, Joan, Mary and Sarah. His wife, Elizabeth, was named his exe. It was witnessed by James Hurd, John Richfield, and Thomas Crofts. It is theory on my part that he had 3 wives, 2 of them named Elizabeth. In this time period and place most families lost a lot of children before adulthood and the number of children he lists in his will plus the larger number in the christening records would indicate that his family was significantly larger than the number of children living at the time of this will. He was also wealthy as indicated by the fact that his will had a duplicate in the Prerogative records of Chanterbury.
