honor serving his country in America, is the lineal
descendant of J. Cornwalleys, Esq. of Broome, in Suffolk,
who lived in the time of Henry VIII, and made one of the
most curious wills ever seen. Among other items, there was
the following: "I bequeath to a preest to syng and pray for
my soule, my fader's soule, my moder's soule, all my frends
soules, and all Chrysteyn soules, for III years, XXIIII marc
sterling:"
