Buried 4 Aug 1697 Kingham. The original will has damage to part of the probate note and the register copy has no probate for comparison. The date of Probate (and probably also Exhibition) could be 10 Mar or 10 May 1698. But if it were the 10 March following her August death it would be given as 1697 (Julian calendar), so it is either May 1698 or Mar 1698/69. The editor bets on May. Note that the sequence of money bequests (retained in the Translation though not in the Summary) may imply sibling-hood between married women and the preceding males. There appear to be two Nehemiah NORGROVEs, but which of them is dead is anyone's guess. An Inventory is included, but its entire RHS is missing due to severe damage. Its date (known to be 6th) is assumed to have been in August soon after her burial, as would be usual. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
