Line 13  .... Anne Baynton and Hartwell John Maude

Line 14... navy Agent..

Line 15 ..whereof I have hereunto set my hand

Signed sealed published and declared  by the Testator the said B B
in the presence of us present at the same time who in his presence and in the
presence of each other have subscribed our names as witnesses J. A. Hallett
14 Gt George St Westminster Navy Agent _ G. Taylor (?) Clerk to the p(artne)rs Hallett
Robinson  ? 14 Gt George St Westminster Navy Agents

Proved at London ............Thomas Spinks doctor

Hartwell John Maude Esq the Executors to whom ad(ministrat)ion was granted having
been first sworn to administer.



The signatures of the witnesses again won't be their original signatures as this is a copy of the will.
I don't think the other executor is 'Sackwell' - that first letter is different to the capital 's' in 'Surrogate' just above it. I think it's an 'H'.

Ha! found him!
He is 'Hartwell John Maude'.
