One word in a 1620 Cheshire Will - help requested.
« on: Thursday 21 October 21 21:11 BST (UK) »
Hello,

Please can someone tell me the word at Arrow A on the attached and xxxx in Line 17 below ? It is not 'give' because Arrows B and C state "give" and it is not the same word. It looks like 'save' or something similar but if so, that makes no sense in the context of the sentence. The lines shown read (my best transcription):

14. moveable and unmovable whatsoever; Item I give and bequeath
15. unto my two son in laws and their wives and any one of their
16. children twelve pence apiece in full discharge of their
17. child’s part, I xxxx my two son in laws and their wives and
18. children Richard Wilcockson and Thomas Leather both of
19. Manley aforesaid; Item all the rest of my good moveable
20. and unmovable whatsoever, my debts and funeral expenses
21. being discharged I do give unto my two daughters Jane

Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

I saie my two sonne inlawes ...

He’s using ‘I say ...’ in the sense of ‘I mean ...’.
He's just clarifying and expanding on the previous phrase, by naming the children as Richard Wilcockson and Thomas Leather and their location as Manley.

Hi, Bookbox,

Once again, a big 'thank you'. I would never have worked that out.
