I have transcribed this will and summarized it here to the best of my ability! A copy of the will can be obtained from the National Archives, Kew.

You can read the 1833 parochial assessment description of Thomas junior and Richard's properties when that section of it has been uploaded to the blog as soon as time allows.  I have such a wealth of material and research I have posts written and scheduled far into the future.
