Other Events and Attributes:

• Probate: 20 Apr 1676

Notes:

The will was originally registered for probate 20 April 1676 and administered in March 1692

Ann had more children than just Salter to Sir Arthur Harris - and Salter gets no mention in her will at all - did he die previously or was he persona non grata??? Nor does she mention any of his children and I have found baptisms for 2 children to Salter and his wife Mary.

The will was originally registered for probate 20 April 1676 and administered in March 1692. Ann first mentions a daughter, Mrs. Argall, then Mr. William Bowyer. She then goes on to her sons Mr. Edward Herris and Mr. Arthur Herris and her son Mr. Thomas Herris as Sole Executor. Numerous grandchildren are also mentioned.
