The testator leaves bequests to three of the children (Thomas, Jane and Susan) of his

Kynaston (buried 23 December 1588), the daughter and co-heir of Thomas Kynaston of
Walford, Shropshire. Susan Corbet married William Yonge of Kenton, who is likely

In the name of God, Amen. The 24th day of May in the year of Our Lord God one
thousand five hundred eighty-three and in the five and twentieth year of the reign of our
Sovereign Lady Elizabeth by the grace of God Queen of England, France and Ireland,
Defender of the Faith etc., I, Walter Corbet, esquire, sick in body but yet of perfect mind
and memory (thanked by Almighty God), knowing and considering the instability of this
transitory life, the certainty of death, and the uncertainty of the time and place when and
where the same shall approach, do therefore to the pleasure of Almighty God and quiet of
my conscience make, ordain and establish this my present last will and testament in form
following, that is to say:
First I commit and commend my soul to Almighty God, the Father, the Son and the Holy
Ghost, trusting most assuredly to be saved by the death, passion and merits of Jesus
Christ, my only Saviour and Redeemer;
