Hi,
Please have a look at a snippet of an old Will of Thomas ap John of Gwenddr Breconshire.
I have identified the text in the attached Snippet. I am particularly interested in the last few words..
I will be very grateful for your expert help!
Once again!

Please have a look at a snippet of an old Will of Thomas ap John of Gwenddr Breconshire.
The extract posted is from the will of one Thomas Prosser (or ap Rosser) of Gwenddwr. Is that what you were expecting?
It(e)m I do geve to Jenkin thomas
ij oxen and a mare colte It(e)m I doe geve and
bequeathe unto m(ar)gret Thomas one kowe It(e)m
I do geve to Rossin[?] ap John
One might expect Rosser here, but the name does appear to end …in. The hand in the last line is rather loose, and the text tails off mid-sentence.

I don't have much to add to this transcription, but I wouldn't identify it too readily as in. To my mind a reading of er is acceptable.

Hello Sessylt, Bookbox, and all of the others on this Forum!
Yes, The name is Rosser ap John... and with a "J".
The snippet was mixed up and abstrcted from the wrong Will, and due to an incapacitation (Dentistry) I was unable to respond earlier.
Many Thanks again!
Llanfi :) :)
