Will of John Crosby dated 29 Oct 1604 and proved 11 Jan 1604/5 (Vol 29, p. 453
To wife Jane for life the house I live in, she paying a rent of 26s.6d, yearly to my son Robert Crosby, beginning when he is 21: and he is to have said estate at her death. If wife remarry, she to give security to Robert Millington, to keep estate in repair. If all my children die s.p., then said estate to the children of Henry Patchett and Rowland Smith. To daughter Margaret, two cows, etc. If wife be with child, it to have two cows. All residue to daughter Margaret, she to be executrix. Witnesses John Millington, Robt. Millington
Margaret, John's daughter and executrix, died between 11 Jan 1604/5, when she
proved his will, and 2 Aug 1605, when her "mother", Jane Crosbie, was given
administration on her estate. On 16 Jan. 1606/7 warning was made not to
give administration on the estate to John Crosbie, late of Holme-on-Spalding-Morr,
or Mr. Fothergill, his attorney.
Apparently Richard's claim was soon settled for on 13 Feb 1606/7 guardianship of
Robert Crosbie, son of John Crowbie of Holm-on-Spalding-Moor, deceased, was
given to John Webster and on that same day administration on the estate of John
Crosbie of Holme-on-Spalding-Moor, deceased, was given to John Webster and
Robert Crosbie, son of the deceased. The inventory of the estate came to
less than £40.
