Wills of Sampford Peverell residents

These transcriptions of wills have nearly all been done by members and friends of the Sampford Peverell Society, so may contain a few inaccuracies.  If you spot anything you think is wrong, please let us know.  The date of the will is a rough indication of when they died but the will could have been written some time before they died, or it may have taken a while after the death for it to go through probate and be registered.  Some of the items are links to wills on the GENUKI website.
