NOTES:

1. Henry has at least two children alive at the time of his death by his first wife Mary Starmer yet he does not mention either of them. Instead he leaves his entire estate to his widow Jane absolutely, he must have been confident that she would look after them in her Will in due time, which of course is what she did. We can infer from this that Jane was indeed fairly close to her step children and this is not too surprising since she probably looked after them from their very early childhood.
