1597 Will of John Willett of Wisborough Green

[MattD30]

Hi

I am hoping someone can help me with this extract from the 1597 will of John Willett. Thankfully I have been able to decipher most of the will but there are a few bits and the odd word in this section which have stumped me. This is what I have so far

“Item I will to Kathryn Mower[?] my _________ xs Item I will to Elizabeth Lee and Marye North/Worth[?] my sonne Badgers ________ iiis iiiid apeece Item I will to Thomas Badger my godson and to John Badger, Richard Badger, Benjamin Badger, and Edward Badger iiis iiiid apeece The sonnes of my daughter Elnor/Elner Badger to be paid to these ________ wythin onne[?] whole[?] year/yeer[?] after my decease Item I will to John Willett my godsonne __  and to Edward Willett, William Willett, Margarete and ____________ my sonne John Willett children iiis iiiid apeece Item I will to John Penfold my daughter Elizabeths sonne ___ and to Thomas[?] and George Penfold”

As you can see I am only stuck on a few bits, in some case it is just clarification of words. Underlined sections indicate a word or words where I am stuck and [?] after a word indicates a word which needs confirmation.

Thanks for any help

Thanks for that. I had originally thought that the word after "Katheren mower my" and after "my sonne Badgers" was servant/servants so I'm glad I was close with my reading of it.

Matt I was looking at anyone who  had info on the Willetts, and I wondered whether you had the rest of that will.  I have lots of gaps.

Mine was transcribed by a volunteer at the Sussex Family History group by a volunteer and I have never had the original as I couldn't find it on British archives site.

Any help appreciated.
