Agree it looks like Seniority, or perhaps seniority with a long  s as first letter not fully visible on the copy.

Could it be that Aaron Crabtree's first nine children were baptised in a different church?

Might it be "lyinge sicke" ?  If so, he would be unlikely to go into battle a few days later. Perhaps he had been wounded in combat, which is what Stu was hoping. That could also explain the hurried writing.

Correction: I now find in an old dictionary a quotation from Shakespeare of "something peevish" which shows that usage of "something" could be current at the time of the will, which makes my suggestion invaliid. Sorry!

One solution might be to use your readings in square brackets, and refer your readers to an authoritative list which gives meanings for most of the abbreviations of letters one is likely to come across when deciphering old documents.

Such a list is contained in the preface to "The Record Interpreter" compiled by Charles Trice Martin, the second edition of which was published in 1910. A facsimile of this book was published by Kohler & Coombes of Dorking, SURREY, England in 1976. I don't know if this is still in print (probably not!), but is likely to available in academic or large city libraries.

One problem with this, however, is that some of the original symbols had several different possible meanings. A common example is lower case p with a stroke across its descender. This usually means per, but can also mean par or por.

Just a suggestion, for what its worth. APOLOGY - Have just realised that Dorking is in Surrey, not West Sussex

In line 7 I agree meorum, then suggest cum in the sense of whenever rather than with, and acciderunt as the next word.

That would make  something  like "My ..... whenever they have occured" which seems to make sense in context.

Looking at the word Street in the next column I think perhaps it was George Storer.
