Observations :

The bequests in this will are a muddle as it seems to mix direct bequest with bequests related to the money that might become due after his brother's death should the nephew die before reaching 21. Also confusing is the fact that the original and copy inventories show a variation in the names of the appraisers; the original seems to have been signed as shown above but the copy names the appraisers as Thomas Gwillim and Thomas Price Includes a separate coversheet; 6 pages in all.
