I see in my original message I had"Mary Churchill/(Field-m 1784)". That should be 1774.

Hello Spencer, The word in Richard Judd's will of 1658 which gave you a problem is "strikes". As you assumed, a strike was a measure, probably the equivalent of a bushel, though it varied from place to place. (See Oxford English Dictionary). As the eldest son, John would only come fully into his inheritance after his mother's death, but was to have six strikes of grinding corn and right of common pasture for one cow in the meantime. The will of his mother, Mary, was proved four years later in 1662 and was probably a "deathbed" will. Richard's will, on the other hand, seems to have been written some years before his death/ some years before probate. If you have other, similar problems, I shall be pleased to try to help!
