I hope to put the transcripts of my collection of Plumley deeds on this blog.  This one from 1659 is the oldest of these deeds given to me by my great-aunt Frances "Marjorie" Harris in 1973.  I transcribed it on 6 Dec 1987, but just digitized and ran OCR on it this evening.  I still need to abstract it.  I will try to fix any transcription or OCR errors.

Will of William Ardren the elder of Slade Hooton in Laughton en le Morthen, Yorkshire 1701

Comments:
I apologize for my inability to read the Latin at the beginning, but I took my best stab at it.  I do have a personal goal of being about to read the old Latin, and I'm sure sometime I will find a template to help me understand the standardized language used in this example.  I will fix it when I know more.
