    3. Hello All, I am transcribing a recently obtained will of my ancestor James RANGER c 1697 who lived in Northiam I am stuck on a couple of things and seek your help. " the West end of my house and land straight down from the gate against the Kings highway (leading from Northiam......Mill to ..hurst) to the little house and half the well" (How does one leave half a well??) After Northiam, it is a small word with an `i` and possibly a `d` at the end. Before `hurst` it could be `Ew` so I suppose this could be Ewhurst Green. And to his daughter Elizabeth "all the orchard etc.. below the house and straight down from the lane towards the south towards the Mill Down hedge". He leaves £5 to other sons and daughters but only 1 shilling to one son. I wonder what he had done wrong ! TIA John Ranger
