Observations:

The testator states in the will he is from the parish of Cusop in Hereford but the preamble to the inventory says he was from Llanigon. As the boundary of the hundred runs through Cusop and the County boundary too is close by it is difficult to ascertain whether Cusop dwellers actually lived in the hundred or not and clearly they were unsure too in 1686. Includes separate coversheet; 3 sheets in all.
