Hansen, SUPRA, note 1, the version of the William Clayton will approved for probate PCC 178 Pell. Edward A. Fry, Calendar of Wills in the Consistory Court of the Bishop of Chichester, 1484-1800 (Index Library, 49 Londodn, 1915), does not index anentire volume of Archdeaconry Court of Chichester Wills (Volume 21 B) which includes a number of probate documents filed during the period that all wills had to be proved at Canterbury, including, as it happens, another copy of the Will of WilliamClayton, timberman, without probate data (21B:58-59). The Quaker Yeomen, Supra note 2, reports this will copy and names Mary as a daughter by the second wife, Elizabeth, althought the will does not specifically state this. As his first wirferdied 14 months after the birth of her fifth child, and as the normal interval of births between children surviving infancy is two years, the conclusion tht Mary was by the second wife seems correct.
