Research Notes

This appears to be his will (Ancestry sharing link, below). It is dated 11 Sep 1614, corresponding well with his burial in October 1614. It mentions his wife Ann, whom he names as his executrix, and his daughter Margery Kenning, who is not yet 21 years old. No other children are named, but he does appear to identify a man named Raynor as "my father-in-law." Unfortunately the first name is very difficult to make out.
