Inv taken and prized 21 Jan 1670.
A footnote in a more modern
hand declares that the inventory was wrongly dated as the Will
also states that it was taken 23 Charles II, i.e. 1671.
Comment by web mistress. Whoever added
the footnote to this will had not checked the date he was buried,
which would have been a few days after he had written the Will.
If they had checked, they would have discovered they were alleging
that John Badsley had made his Will from the grave! The "mistake" was
in the year written at the beginning of the Will, and not
the date of the inventory.
