- ↑ It is clear that the following items are a single person but it is not clear if it is this William or possibly William the son of James. The property on Newbury Street appears to be the one mortgaged and then sold by James to Joshua, and bought from Joshua by this William (see above), so it would seem the property ended up with this William but the transaction is not straightforward or clear. The debt in the probate of over £800 to Joshua Henshaw deceased, could possibly be related to the two mortgages given to James by Joshua, but that is not clear either. More research is needed. No mention of a wife, and the occupation of trader, prevents a clear identification of the principal.
