[okkool]

In the next part I am trying to figure out the word in red. Note: the parish records indicate the true name is Sowdley Eyton.

and bequeath unto my Sonne Francis Butter the third part of John Garmsons Tenement in three parts to be divided And alsoe the third part in three parts to be divided of the
heathey pluck in the holding of mds Sewley Eyton And Alsoe the third part in three parts to be divided of the two Leasows in the holding of James Poole Lying beyond the

It's:  m^(re)s Lewsey Eyton = m(ist)re(s)s Lucy Eyton

From this alone I can't agree with what you say about the true name.  If you wish, please post the PR so I can see for myself.

ADDED:

Compare the first letter of the forename to the Ls in (what is arguably) Leasows and also Lying on the same line.

ADDED 2:

For clarity I have made a small change to my transcription above.

The thing between the m and s in the contracted form of mistress is the same superscript wiggle or loop which supplies the re in the contracted form of presence, as can be seen in most wills of this period.

Well Hd86 the word "mistress" does put a different spin on my conclusions.

Sowdley Eyton born 1669 had a sister Lusina born 1671. Their parents were Philip (died 1672) and Lucy Eyton.
Lucy dies in 1698 intestate but the intestate documents indicate she had surviving children Sowdley, Margaret, and Anne (Lusina predeased?).

I therefore conclude that my will refers to Lucy the mother.

Thanks for that pivotal word. Brian

Hi Brian,

You are correct with:  ...w^ch I have yet in being from George...

He has a lease on the tenement from George.

At the time of writing three years of the lease remain unexpired.  These years he gives to son Joseph.

So:  yet in being = real/actual = unexpired (in relation to a lease)
