The will is dated Jan 1727 which would usually mean 1727/28, but since the inventory and probate are both Mar 1726/27 we must assume that whoever wrote the will believed that New Year was Jan 1st. We might wonder whether the afterthought son-in-law implies a marriage after the will was made, but there is no evidence. A full Inventory is included. No total is given but it adds up to £50 19s. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
