Thank you for your transcription of the above will Sue. Richard is my 9 x g-grandfather and when I saw that there was a will I was full of hope that it might throw some light on what has been a mystery to me. Richard also had a son William who is not mentioned in his father's will. If you look at William's will on Robert's website you will see that he names his brothers and sisters, all of whom are mentioned in Richard's will. I had realised that William was a great deal older than his siblings and was no doubt born of an earlier marriage. He was baptised at Hawkesbury in August 1607 son of Richard and married Penelope NEALE at Hawkesbury in November 1634. Other baptisms for issue of Richard are: Elizabeth 1621 and Martha 1623, John 1626, Joseph 1630 and Maurice 1632. Maurice married Rebecca Stinchcombe in 1661. Has anyone got any further information on the HANCOCKs? I could not see Richard in Men and Armour1608 and I have gone through the Portman papers again to look for a clue. There are many entries regarding leases, etc. where Richard is witness which date from 1620. I would be grateful if there is someone who can help. Regards, Pat Adair
