The will belongs to John Oldcorne.
Earlier in the will he says.
“I give unto my Jannett Oldcorne my daughter forty pounds”
Our reading of the line in question is
“I give unto Jannett Oldcorne my daughter of
one cupboard”
The residue of the estate goes “unto Jane Oldcorne my present wife” (Her maiden name was Hineson).
John Oldcorne was married twice, and has children by both wives. His second wife is young enough to be his daughter. He was 57 and she was 21 when they married.
We think we know the Christian name, but not the surname of the first wife. We wondered if in this context the illegible word was the name of his first wife.
