He gives all his messuages, tenements, lands, etc. in Loughton to his youngest son Tymothie. He doesn’t mention any other sons, however.

John Eyer of Kempston, Bedford
Will dated 10 January 1557
FHL film #1066791 pg 315

His wife’s name is Joane. It is abbreviated Jone so I am assuming that the letter left out is an a.
He has a daughter named Agnes. This Agnes has 2 sons named Rychard and Thomas.
Thomas Colman is his son in law so I assume that he is the husband to Agnes since John Eyer does not mention any other daughters.
He has a grandson named Thomas Eyer and calls him “my son’s son” but does not give the name of his son, so I am assuming his own son may be deceased.
Then he mentions an Alis Eyer who is the sister to this Thomas Eyer. Neither one of these 2 grandchildren are married yet.
Then he says that he gives to his son’s children Elyzabeth and Joane and again does not give the name of his son.
So it appears he has 4 grandchildren from one unknown son-----Thomas, Alis, Elizabeth and Joane.
He has 2 houses which he holds of a Mr. Fewyllnes. This name is also abbreviated between the l and the n so I’m not sure which letter is missing, perhaps an i or an o. It is also spelled Feewyll( )nes.
He has a copy called “borowes” with a close and land which he holds of Olyner Bayntjoh___(then there is another abb. mark), esquire.
He mentions a William Newolde the younger.
He gives to his grandson Thomas a close called “dowde”, and also a close called “stokenes” which he holds of a Rafe Astrey of Aftrey.
He gives to a Henry Browne.
All the rest unbequethed he gives to his wife Joane and to Thomas Colman his son in law whom he makes his executors.
Witnesses are Wylliam Newolde the younger, John Bulliner of Bullmer, Henry Browne, and William Inbud or Nibud?

There are two spots where he gives to someone and the page has another page on top of it or else the page is folded up so I can’t see the names. Perhaps it could be another daughter. This happens again where he says he gives to a William somebody. Dang.
Probate is in Latin dated 14 Dec 1568

Tim,
I have some additions and corrections to make to this will. I went back to see what the first 2 pages of this will were before the will actually starts and they are the missing sentences that I said were folded over in the will. Someone else has written this in and the spelling and some of the sentencing is a little different than the original will. I could also see the words more clearly in these additions. Some of the original will was a bit blurry.
There are 3 daughters of Thomas Colman named Susan, Agnes, and Marye.
The William that was cut off is William Colman, an uncle to Thomas Colman.
Thomas Colman’s cousin’s name is Thomas Ayre, not Ryre. I could see it more clearly and it is positively Ayre.
And the Robert from Earlsey (Arlesey) is not Robert Stotter, it is definitely Robert Scotte. I looked at the original on this and there was some bleed through that made it look like Stotter.
