Thanks David, that's interesting...
I have the will of John Lynn (1690-1767) who was the generation between the two Israels. They seem to be a very wealthy and well off family because he gives away a lot of land in his will including some land in:
Rusper in Sussex which is occupied by George Illman;
Reigate, specifically in Reigate Manor;
Holmwood in Dorking;
West Street in Dorking; and
Westcot in Dorking.
Obviously being a Yeoman was a good job, although I have had another Yeoman on another branch of my tree who was rich enough to give money to all his relatives and some to the churchwardens of his church and to the poor people in the town he lived!
