2 words from a 1588 will

[Edward Scott]

I am totally stock on the word that starts line 4 and comes after "I give to my sonnne"

I believe the second word is newton (as in Newton in the Isles) but would appreciate confirmation

many thanks

It’s foure children, the word is not sonne. ‘I give to my foure children’
The word occurs again on the next line.

Thanks, no wonder I couldn't make sense of it - doh!

It is a shame he doesn't name them but at least I know how many living ones I am searching for.

I forgot to say, I think the other word is Newton.

Thanks again 50% is quite good for me
