Translation of the Probate Statement<\/h3>\n
[This will was proved before the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury at
\nLondon the last day of April in the Year of Our Lord one thousand five hundred and seventy five by the oath of
\nMaster George Harrison public notary procurator for Mary Stourton executrix in this will named \/ to whom was committed
\nadministration of the goods etc. He having been sworn on God’s Holy Gospels etc.]<\/div>\n

Footnotes<\/h3>\n

‘Sylvinche’ I believe to be what is now Selvinge, with Selvinge Farm being marked on modern maps. It was in the parish of Whitelackington, where Agnes wished to be buried, but is closer to the villages of Puckington and Stocklinch, the poor of the two Stocklinch parishes being left money as well as those of Whitelackington.<\/p>\n

[1] Quillets were the narrow strips of land farmer pre-enclosure. Without knowing if a place is mentioned because Agnes had just a quillet or 2, or a whole manor, it is hard to get an impression of how wealthy she was. (OED entry<\/a>).<\/p>\n

[2] There is also another Eastover in Somerset, near Bridgwater, but the position in this list suggests the Langport one.<\/p>\n

[3] William Stourton was her son-in-law, husband of her daughter Mary.<\/p>\n

[4] John Morgan was her grandson, son of her daughter Mary.<\/p>\n

[5] Perceve = Perceive : ‘To receive (rents, profits, dues, etc.)’, (OED<\/a>, meaning II 8a).<\/p>\n

[6] I believe Nicholas Rose [Rosse] was a son of Agnes.<\/p>\n
