Title: Extract from the Will of Edward Blackwell
Post by: MattD30 on Wednesday 05 December 18 00:39 GMT (UK)
Hi

I'm hoping someone can help me with this extract from the second page of Edward Blackwell's 7 page Will. I can read the majority of the Will except a few words and this is the piece which is has got me stuck the most.

I am ok with the top line from where it says "to my brother Thomas Blackwell his heirs & assigns forever..." and the last line where it says "Wyllyam Blackwell ______ my father and Margarett his wife or by any of them" however I'm stuck with the bit in the middle.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Matt
