Bowland’s goods came to but £431 : 6 : 8. His land is given to three
children, the eldest not twelve years old. As the land cannot be sold
during their nonage he humbly begs that the land may be extended and
prays that some allowance may be made for the education of the children.
Turville’s substance was chiefly in debts, his household stuff was of
the value of £120 : 3 : 4. Of this £1,441 : 19 : 7 is to go to William
Saintbarbe, the most part of which sum remains in the hands of the Earl
of Warwick and Sir Philip Sydney. Notwithstanding he is willing to pay
as much as His Honour shall think good.
William Painter craves remembrance of a note of his estate delivered in
1586, expressing the particulars of all he has in the world to live upon
in these his aged days, amounting to about £64 a year. He has a wife and
five children all marriageable and unprovided for. He begs his Honour’s
favourable consideration of his case and promises to be the occasion of
saving unto Her Majesty of far greater sums than what he owes to her.
