Will of William Tempule, farmer, 1656

Tempule left £140 of money with bequests to his four sons in law, granddaughter and five sons when they reached the age of 21 except for William who would receive his legacy at the age of 27. Another son, Robert, would only receive his payment if he was still living at age 21 and if he came to demand it, suggesting that perhaps he was living away from home. No inventory survives.
