Help deciphering 1625 Probate

[DonnaMarie1982]

Hello,

If anyone could help me unravel this it would be much appreciated.
Names involved Randulphi Poynton (deceased) of Norton on the Moors.
Meare Poynton his daughter.
Jane or Janae Poynton his wife.

Many thanks,

Donna

Meare was a son not a daughter

In the actual will of Randall Poynton 1625, 'Meare Poynton' is definitely given as 'my sonne' at least half a dozen times. He inherits leases on parcels of land.
Randall Poynton is of Baddeley in the parish of Norton in the Moors.

Meare Poynton is mentioned twice in this clip from the will - the last time as executor along with Randall's wife Jane.

(I have a copy of this will as one of my ancestors married a Poynton - unfortunately not mentioned in this will though).

Is it possible the word squeezed in at the end of the line in the probate could be son instead of daughter Bookbox?

I have done a lot of scouring of records from Norton in the Moors Donna.
I don't know how much you have done.

Manorial documents for Norton in the Moors are not easy to search as different parts of land belonged to different manors.
I can let you have some more information if you're interested.

There is an interesting item about leases in the Rent Rolls for Norton in the Moors in 1608 for Richard Meare and Randulph Poynton at 'Badyley', and John Meare is also mentioned.
I can send you the clipping if you want.

Goldie, did you see the date of the original request and first reply?

Yes indeed. The contraction obscures the word ending and therefore the gender, but the word that follows is masculine, unu(m). Unfortunately I too hastily took my cue from Donna's first post, which refers to Meare as a daughter. Apologies to all.

Did I miss something HD? I don't understand this comment. Probably me!

I thought you may have been unaware that you were writing informative posts on a near three-year-old thread, when it seemed probable (to me) that the OP will never read them.  I simply thought you may have wanted to save your time - at least until the OP had revisited the thread.

I apologize that my understanding of the situation was wrong.
