It would be interesting to know what the first one was made of.

Did you not see in my post? It was made of 'canvas'.
Any dictionary will give you what canvas is.
Sorry, yes I did see the post. I had forgotten to note it down and also forgot to look at it when the second post came up.
I'm trying to work out who the other people named in the Will are and how they connect to William. William also names a John Pett in his Will and there is a marriage in Chillenden in 1568 for John Pett and Elizabeth Taylor. Given that William mentions his daughter Elizabeth, I suspect John might be his son in law.
Another son in law is probably the Abraham Rainer he mentions. Abraham married Jane Taylor in Chillenden in 1573 and I suspect Jane is another daughter of William. On the other hand the details for Abraham and Jane's marriage has come from a transcript at the moment and I've not had a chance to see the original. I can't find a christening for Jane yet which is annoying. Alternatively William also mentions his daughter "Joane" in the Will and I wonder if "Jone" might have been misread as "Jane" but I'll need to check that in the original registers.
Wiliam named three sons in his Will, Frannces, Rychard and John. I've not found christenings for Rychard or John but there is a "Frannces Taylor" christened in Chillenden in July 1563 on Familysearch, however this is marked as "female" and I wonder if this might be an error.
