[Note: this article says the will is recorded Suffolk Probate 7:266. Source:Stocking, Charles H. W. Tefft Ancestry, p. 5, published 1904, so probably relying on this source, says the same thing. However, the recorded will found online, which is a copy, here, says it is 7:269, and witnesses were sworn "2 (8) 1648", which would be October, not November.]
