BRADLEY BROWNE COX DIER FISHPOOLE FISHPOOLL KING LARGE SMYTH STOAKES STOKES TYLER VIJSHPILE VIJSPILE WASBOROW |
STOKES, Robert - of Lawrens Weston i/t/p Westburie, husbandman, 26 Sep 1600.
(being sick in bodie) to Willm KING & Katherine KING children of my son in law John KING … to John KING my sonne in lawes son (when he cometh to Lawfull age) … to Johan DIER - my brock hornd white Ewe … to my god-daughteer Alice VIJSHPILE[1] … to Wm STOAKES my brothers son - my greate brasse pan to be delivered to him after my wives decease & my will is that my wife shall have the use of him during his naturall life.[2] Executrix: my wife Johan, and to have all the rest. Overseers: John COX and John R[illegible, this name scratched out]; Robart BRADLEY [interleaved] Witnesses: Robt WASBOROW. Also I request Mr Willm LARGE as concerneinge the suet of law wich my landlord haith commenced agaynst me that I doe refer onelie into his hand to end at his decretion. Debts wch the testator oweth: [illegible, scratched out] BROWNE gent … to the teything of Lawrens Weston for wood. Debts owing to the testator: John TYLER alias SMYTH … Phillip TYLER alias SMYTH. Witnesses: to this above Interlyned Thomas FISHPOOLL. Robert STOKES X his mark. Probate 13 Feb 1601 by Executrix [Johan STOKES]; Bristol Wills. Notes: [1] I immediately thought the "Alice VIJSPILE" strange. Now "vijs" is Dutch for "fish" and then we see below that Thomas FISHPOOLL witnessed the interleaved lines. And William FISHPOOLE appears in Westbury per Smith's Men & Armour, 1608 (a great help for clues to those nearly indecipherable names). [2] I re-read carefully the line about Wm STOKES and that John's wife should have use of him for his natural life. That's what the will says. Was the poor lad a life-long indentured servant/slave? an imbecile who needed to be cared for? [Ed: Or local dialect assigning a gender (him) to an inanimate object?] |
