Thome Murvin
This Will was signed and sealed, but the original is not
extant, and there is nothing to show what device the seal
may have borne. The '
Kaderne that was his mother's ' was
possibly a cradle, as I find the word kader or cadcr, which
nearly approaches that in the Will, so explained by English
authorities.*
