His mother was still alive per his will. Excerpts of the will follows:
"I give to my daughters Johan and Ann, a yearling heifer apiece."
"I give to my three daughters, three standing beds, with all the furnishings of the same belonging, and that my wife shall have the arranging of the same -------- the church of Kinnersley."
"I will that Anne my wife, shall have the occupation of all those lands, meadows, leaseholds and pastures, together with -----------------of a lease made to me and one John Meeth, by Hugh Whitney, and which I have assigned to my son, William, and that my wife, shall have the arranging of the same ----------- answering, paying and accomotating the profits of the same to my executor, at the end of four years next ensiuing, and that my wife and my executor -------------- come unto take some lease or other bargain with the same stock, where they shall be most necessary, to the use of my Son William, and in case they cannot --------------------- the same stock, until the said Willliam, shall come to the age of 16 years, and then my executor, to yield and pay the same stock to my son William."
"I will that Anne my wife shall be good to Ann my maid."
"I will that my wife shall have all my inmovable goods and give to William my son, 6 oxen, 6 taynes, 2 ironband waynes."
"I give to J----- the Heriots (?), if any be due upon my lands, all the rest of my cattle, young beast, calves and sheep, I give my wife and sons to be equally divided amongst them."
Several times the phrase, "... after my mother's decease." is used.
Outstanding money to be paid to his daughters and his sons.
"I give pounds which I have in the hands of John Edwards to my brother William ------ land wherin the said John Watkins is bound to the said William."

"All my good unbequeathed I give to Ann my wife."
"I do make and ordain John Carpenter my brother executor ---------------- to see this last will and testament truly performed and John Baskerville Esq., William ----------."
