Henry Maxted

Here is the first half of the second image:

It appears that some lines have been omitted between the first and second image.

Starting with the first complete bequest (and ignoring words crossed-out):

It(e)m I will

to margarett hall my doughter w^thin one q(uar)t(er)

of a yere next after my deceasse the sum(m)e of vj^li xiijs iiijd

It(e)m I will to Elizab(e)t Watson my doughter

w^thin one q(uar)t(er) of a yere next after my deceasse the sum(m)e of

xl^s ^& all my arples growing at [?ettes]^ It(e)m I will to Johan my doughter w^thin ^half^ of a yere

next after my deceasse the som(m)e of x^li It(e)m I will to Will(ia)m

ffyliv(er) my doughters son wthin one half yere next after my

deceasse the som(m)e of xx^s


Note:

Certain of the monetary amount are preceded by what looks like an o and line.  I think this is a flourish (a lead-in dash), but may be wrong as not all do.

To speed matters up. here are the people mentioned in the remainder of Image 2:

1.  luce ffyliv(er) h(is) [?]

The his presumably refers to William ffyliver, but the ? escapes me for the moment.

Luce is aged less than 18 at the time of writing.

2.  henry maxsted my son will(ia)ms son

3.  Thomas Watson my doughters son

[horselydown86]

Mentioned in Image 3:

1.   ...all the rest of my son Willyams Children...

2.   ...my son Johns doughter...    [not named]

3.   ...John my yongest son...

4 & 5.   ...Rob(er)t my son & my eldest son John...

6.   ...my son Will(ia)m...

7.   ...John [Page?] my s(er)v(a)nt...

Referring back to my Reply #10, luce ffyliver is William ffyliver's sist(er).

Hi there

Many, many thanks for this help. The details in this section confirm that this is my ancestor, the key line was this:

"It(e)m I will to Elizab(e)t Watson my doughter "

Elizabeth Maxted/Mexted was married to Thomas Watson, whose Will I already have. It is their son, Thomas Watson, who is named in the second part of image 2. Also the mention of Henry's son John in the third extract is key because in Thomas Watson's will he mentions his brother in law "John Maxsted" .

Now I feel I can build up a tree for the Maxted family, even a very basic tree.

I am going to post the last images tomorrow but this give me enough to know that this is my ancestor.

Many thanks again for help.

Good to hear, Matt.  Thanks for letting me know.

Here is the second page of this Will, again cropped into sections.

This first part is from the top of the page. I think in this piece I see someone named Sybill mentioned but can't make the surname out (it looks like she's a widow though).

There is also another mention of his wife Agnes and I believe he mentions "Robert Maxsted my Son" near the end.

Next sections to follow....

Many thanks

Here's the next piece of this Will.

There is a lot of crossing out in the lower half of this piece but it would be good if any of the crossed out writing could be made out.

The continuation of this bit is coming next.

Here's the next piece.

This bit continues from the end of extract 2.

I think in this piece I can make out the names of three sons, William Maxsted, Robert Maxsted, and John Maxsted. Other people might be named as well.
