Summary of will

Confusingly drafted will, particularly concerned with property recently inherited in Stepney, London. It appears that he is leaving two young children and is anxious they should inherit the property if they survive, but his wife is allowed to enjoy the income provided she does not remarry. Two friends are appointed as overseers of the will in addition to his wife and son who are executors, although only his wife proved the will. Another daughter is mentioned, but her name is not clear. He is also anxious to prevent a late servant, John Miles, from living with his wife and children as a servant. Also mentioned animals he owned at his father's in Plumpton.
