NOTES:
- This will was probably written by Christopher Wren who would seem to have been the parson there.
- In what way was Ambrose Makereth treating or accusing John Rawes?
- It is possible that the Jaratt Raues who is one of the Supervisors of this will is the Gerard Rawes of the
1592/3 documents if it can be shown that Gerard was at least 50 years old at the time of his decease.
- Stott = Stot. This may be a horse. especially one of an inferior kind, but may also refer to some form of
cattle. 14 trusses of hay. Corn and Straw, and 4 lambs. all insyghte = this is a usual northern expression
for household goods and furniture.
