      my other lands in Milton, Gravesend, and Denton, except one field in Milton called the Sconsfield and an Inn in Milton, now in the occupation of John Francis, known as the Crowne and an Inn in Gravesend called the White Heart, bought of my father-in-law, Richard Sedley, Esq., not yet conveyed--to him and to his heirs male, with reversion to my second son, Francis, my third, son, Robert, and any other son born to me and my wife Elizabeth, in turn and to their heirs male. The Crowne is to go to my wife Elizabeth for life and then to such one of my sons as she shall appoint by will, and, failing such appointment, to my son George. To my said son George all my lands in the Sumer Ilands, otherwise called the Barmodoes, except the two shares that came to me by my uncle Daniel Tucker's will, one in the occupation of John Younge, planter, the other called the Timber share, which I give to my son Francis, and also two other sharesi n the occupation of the Widow Perinchef in Warwick tribe, purchased of Sir Robert Knight," which I give to my son Robert, the bequest to follow the same limitations as my lands given above. My wife is to have the profits of all my lands during the minority of my son George. All my adventures upon the sea and other rents shall be for payment of my debts and younger children's portions (for which also the excepted lands are to be sold, if necessary). To my second son, Francis, and to my youngest son, Robert, £400 each at the age of twenty-four, and, if my wife be delivered of another child, to it £400 at twenty-four if a son and at twenty-one or marriage if a daughter. To my daughter Elizabeth Tucker 1000 marks at twenty-one or at marriage with her mother's consent. The portion of any child dying under age is to be divided among the survivors. If all my sons die without heirs male, my lands in Bexley, Crayford, and Dartford, The Crowne, The Sconcefeild, The White Hart, and lands in the borough of Southwark are to go to my daughter Elizabeth and any other daughter I may have. I authorize my most honored friend, Sir John Wolstenholme the Younger, Knt., and my brother-in-law, Mr. John Sedley, to sell any of the before-mentioned lands and devise these lands to them; as those in Southwark are yet in lease and much improveable, I would have them the last sold, but give them entire discretion in the sales. The residue of lands unsold and overplus of money are to go to my son George. The remainder of the manor of Milton and lands in Milton, Denton, and Somer Ilands, if my sons die without issue, are to go to my brother John Tucker and his heirs, provided that my brother Robert Tucker be maintained like a gentleman, in decent apparel and habitation to his content for life, and that my brother Henry Tucker have £20 a year for life. All my goods undisposed of to my wife Elizabeth, my sold executrix, and I appoint as overseers Sir John Wolstenholme the Younger, Knt., my brother-in-law Jno Sedley, Gentleman, and my brother John Tucker, Gentleman; and I give to each of them 5 marks for rings in remembrance of me. To the poor of Digswell 40s., of Milton 40s., and of Gravesend 20s. Witnesses: John Sedley, George Tucker, John Darrell, Ann (?) Stoughton, Elizabeth Tucker.
