Will of Edith Hornblow of Thatcham Berkshire 1617

[goldie61]

hornblowe the daughter of Richard hornblowe fyve poundes xxxxxx
xxxx and Item I give and bequeath unto all my xxxxx not married

One word still missing from this clip in reply #18 I think.

The word after 'kettell' on the second line is 'savinge',
so it becomes 'my beste kettell savinge one'.
I take that to mean his second best kettell. 

[goldie61]

Does this mean 10 pounds 2 shillings each? T

X ij d means 12 pence (= 1 shilling).

I would say yes, each, - ' xij d a peece'

my sole executor  seeinge? * my debtes discharged and my funeral expences payd Item I constitute     
and ordayne my welbeloved in christe thomas Goddard and henry Goodden  my overseers

* really not sure about that but the context would suggest a word similar to this.  Wills can be very formulaic and this can make it a bit easier to work out.  Names are always the most difficult because you can't work them out from the meaning of the words around them.

my sole executor  seeinge? * my debtes discharged

I believe it's written seinge (= seeing).
