Observations:

The documents include a bond dated 30 May 1684 with bounden Walter Watkins and Phillip Prichard  in a surety of £200. There is a separate admon and coversheet; 5 sheets in all.
The odd thing about this will is that it was writen 22 years before the year of probate. Perhaps due to the £25 mortgage he had on his property.
