ABSTRACT OF THE WILL OF ROSE MARVYN.*
25 April, 1557. Rose Marvyn, widow, of Little Belstead, Suffolk,
late wife of John Marvyn (Jr.), of Chattisham, deceased.
To be buried in the Church-yard of Little Belstead.
Thomas Glamfelde, her "son-in-law," to pay to her daughter
Joan £6, 13s., 4^.. at her marriage.
Children of Christopher Alderman, " my son," whom " I make
executor," mentioned but not named.
Children of John Alderman, not named. [I suppose that he was
the John of Belstead (where Rose died), who had a son Christopher,
of Bentley, Suffolk, and that he was the brother John named
in the Will of Christopher, as John, the son of the latter, was then
only a boy.f]
" John Smythe, my brother," is appointed supervisor.
