[The above abstract of the Will of Jonas Humfrey, was made from a copy, evidently in the hand-writing of Elder James Humfrey, who was the eldest son of Jonas, and, as will be seen, his executor. This copy is in possession of the family at Dorchester, and is doubtless a correct transcript of the original. There are many errors in the Will, as recorded in Suffolk Probate Records, Vol. I. p. 382.
Jonas Humfrey was a Constable in Wendover, Co. Bucks, Eng. He brought to this country a curious copy of Instructions and queries in twelve Articles. To these questions he was required to give answers in writing, after having faithfully fulfilled the duties incumbent on him as an officer of that borough. This paper is extant.]"
