Thanks! I did find the family search website and I can find dates of births and christening locations, but my ancestor had a very very very common name so it's tough to know which one is the correct one!
My biggest issue is just reading this will. There are things like, he gives his nephew "all my moiety or half-part and all and every other my part of parts and share or shares of audiu (??) the good ship or (word I can't understand... thofsell??? looks like???) called the Martha and Mary" ... and that is one of the clearer parts! It seems he had a ship, or part ownership of a ship called Martha and Mary? Or I'm totally getting it wrong.
And "Fifthly, and whereas my Dear Wife is now (supposed??) to be onsiont (???) or with child now in case she is now onsiont of one child thou I give and decide all my said freehold estate and lauds at (Beadnoll??) aforesaid/charged and chargeable and aforesaid and also all other my freehold estates whatsoever and wheresoever to furh (?? first?) child whome it shall be born and to it heirs forever."
This is a long will! This is going to take me awhile
