I will be most happy to email you my transcription of this WILL. I did intend to put it on this site (not sure of copywrite conditions & there are a few words at the end that I am not sure of). It's a super WILL, even mentions 'one dough trench'(left to his grand-daughter Sarah Benfield) - when home bread making was an everyday occurance!
The Gloucester Record Office reference for this WILL & Inventory is:
1708 Benfield John Newland 1708/78 & 1708 Benfield John Coleford 1708/78.
My 2 x gt grandmother Jane Benfield was in turn the 4 x gt grand-daughter of John Benfield.
