Sorry to see no replies. I'm away on holiday, but I'm pushing this up the board, hopefully to prompt responses from others.

Son Thomas's bequests - the first word could be 'counter' instead of 'connter' as you have put.
'u's and 'n's are virtually identical.
The last bequest for him as a 'chist', (chest), not a 'shift' as you have have put.

I think she is 'Elizabeth Cosinge', not Elizabeth Cosmye.
