I think it’s ‘Harie’ - I thought ‘Henrie’ at one time, but can’t see an ‘n’ in there.
I’ve done the names as best I can. You may need to do some creative searching for the place names!
‘Rot’ will be Robert.

Sounds as if he is naming some fairly illustrious people here.

And now we know why he has some money invested in a ship!

Goldie61, Again you have done a wonderful job! I agree with Henrie for the childs name. Your quite right those mentioned are aristocrats from that time. I really want to thank you very much for all your hard work. I will post the next section soon. Tonight I have found another 1668 amendment to this will. I will work on posting that when done with this one.

Many Blessings
Kevin
