The bond is just in the index, I've about as much chance of getting to Huntingdon archive as flying to the moon at the moment so unless my local family search centre has films of the actual bonds and allegations I'm not going to see it . I've found the one shilling thing in another will with married daughters (same line actually, it's Rebecca's husband, Richard Jepson sr ) I'm still trying to decipher the will to see if there's any more clues, It's interesting that Mary Fisher gets £100 . I think from the fine one of my hunches might be correct, that there was a good amount of back and forth between Scarcliffe and Southoe, there's a Christopher and a Penelope who are buried in Southoe in the correct timespan for them to be the Scarcliffe ones, Colton might be back there as well in 1737 seeing as he's named as a party to the dispute, I don't know why that didn't come up when I searched the surname on the NA website. I'm probably going to add what I've got and park it for the time being until I get chance to see some records, I wish the central funding was there to help smaller archives get their collections digitised and available through the National Archives but that's probably a pipe dream. ETA there's a decent possibility that Cotton is a typo , marriage says Coulton , Will says Colton, but if the typo is consistent it wouldn't get picked up by a soundex search for Colton
