Extract from the will of John Smyth

The following extract from the will of John Smyth, dated January 14th 1633, has been included in the Court Roll in English:

Item: I give & bequeath unto John Smyth my youngest Sonne, after the decease of Frances my wife, all my houses, lands & tenements, (both freehold & copyhold) with their appurtenances, scituate, lyeinge & being in Deopham aforesaid to hould to hym & to his heires forever.

  1. It has been noted in the margin that Augustine Cullyer was admitted to both pieces at the Court held on December 12th 1689 ↩︎
  2. The name Sharke Gap also appears in the record of the Court held on August 8th 1649; it is likely that this should read Clarke’s Gap – as, for example, in the Court of August 5th 1777. ↩︎
