The rest of his estate was given to his wife. On 5 7m [Sept.] 1659, he added a codicil '[b]efore seuen a clocke in the morneing,' saying that'he had bene perswaded to make his will and he was such extreme pane when he did it soe as he did not consider the thing as he should haue done, and therfor vpon further consideration ther was something in his former will he desired to alter which [was] that haueing giuen his wife his who estat' (after debts and other legacies were paid), he gave the land to 'my brethren in case that my wife die childless, to those brethren that have children or may have children.' '[F]urthermore I giue unto widow Brocklebank and hir sons,' 40s. Both will and codicil were nuncupative. No children, although the codicil seems to consider the possiblity that his wife was pregnant."
