    23 Feb 1735[/36?]: Petition of Ann Makepeace of Taunton widow and Relick of William Makepeace Late of Taunton Deceased who was removed by death sometime in December last past and made no provision for her in his will so asks that will not be proved and she get her thirds. "Filed in the Probate office March ye 7 1736".

    21 Jun 1737: Bond of Lidia Witherel and Susannah Godfrey executrixes of William Mackpace Late of Taunton Deceased.
    [Note: the petition of the widow appears misdated as all other documents (will, inventory, proving date, executrixes' bond) are all consistent with death in Dec 1736 and that also agrees with the years of the reign described. The date on the petition in 1735, promoted to 1735/36, appears a year off, and probably influenced the notations of the clerk when everything was filed. The recorded copies are at Vol. 8, p. 480, but the petition doesn't seem to have been recorded.]
