of John Cobbold my Kynsman decd the somme of Ten Pounds of

decd - deceased? Does that fit?

yes it fits, but I wanted to check it actually does say decd.

(of course it means there are no less than Three John's mentioned in this will! I wish he was a bit more specific than Kynsman  )

Clip 3

the paymt thereof That then this my Gifte of the afore mentioned

Gifte gift?  Did Leonard Cobbold loan money to his 'kynsman' and is now forgiving it as part of his will. So instead of an actual gift of money Leonard Cobbold wipes the loan?

Do you agree it does say WCH?  (which yes if it does, I agree probably means Which used to mean Who in the first instance, but Which in the second.  or does the second occurrence = WTH
