Richard was named as executor. There was a small footnote: There is a small pedigree to be found in Visitation of Lincs 1592 - possibly the testator belonged to the same family. The above may be found in 'Lincolnshire Wills - Second Series 1600-1617' by the Rev.A.R.Madison, Lincoln 1891. A letter to the county record office should elicit photocopies (will & pedigree) for a small charge: Lincolnshire Achives Office, The Castle, Lincoln LN1 3AB England.
