I did not find anything to assist with this particular Testator. The relationship of his Executrix is unknown but she is a widow Susanna Webber Fenner (looked for a marriage between Susanna Webber Blake and Fenner but did not locate one). He names his sons Thomas and William and William has a son named William.
