William Sylver is the testator and I wonder if I have found a relative of Nicholas Blake or his wife Margaret as William Silver remembers some of the family of Nicholas living at the time including the sister of Nicholas Elizabeth Mylne perhaps. He does not, however, mention Robert which made me wonder if he is a relative of Margaret, wife of Nicholas. He owns a suit of armour it does appear as he gives away the salett to Thomas Blake (and is this the Thomas who died in 1541?), he gives a pair of splents to Nicholas and the sharpe (blade) to William Hussey along with its accoutrements in return he will pay his wife a yearly sum for her life. To Elizabeth Myle he gives a brass pot and then he remembers his daughter and his wife.
An interesting will which may prove more valuable as I work my way through the Andover/Knights Enham Manor records one of these years.
