Alexander Frogley wrote his will on 12 April 1702 in Wantage, Berkshire, England. Inventory exhibited 20 July 1702 which is possibly probate date but not conclusive.[1]

Spelling, punctuation and line breaks are as per the register copy. Capital F is rendered as F rather than ff. Abbreviations are expanded and additions noted in [square brackets]. Paragraph breaks (where added) and bold text for names are my own for ease of reading. Good, clear copy.
