Item, he bequeathed unto his son in law Nicholas Shimmin forty shillings legacy and an old feather bed unto the said Shimmin’s wife. He left unto his son in law Nicholas Bridson and wife ten shillings legacy. Item, he left the best of his clothes unto his grandson William Bridson, and if he would not wear it and that he would dispose of any of it, that he would give the first offer unto his son John.
