Observations:

This will has an endorsement to the effct that this is a true copy that has been compared to the original before the original was granted out of the office and dated 11 November 1651 .

In addition included with the documents is a written judgement entitled: 'A brief note of granting out the original will of William John Wm Dec. promoted by Catherine Wms his relict and executrix'. Dated 9 November1651.
The documents include a bond with bounden Katherine Williams of Clodock in the County of Brecon [?], widow and Thomas Delahay of the same place, yeomen in a surety of £100.
This bond is very badly written and difficult to decipher, It is only by his signature at the bottom of the page that Thomas Delahay can be identified. Katherine signs with a 'WM' mark.

His inventory is reproduced below with modern spelling.
