written aged 47. Nov. 24th. 
Buryed 1712. 
Martha widow of John Jacob of Norton in this County Gent. Daught* 
of Roger Calley of this parish Gent. aged 84. April 05th. 
For many years afterwards, though resident at Norton and 
Marshfield and elsewhere, the descendants of Martha Jacob were 
brought for burial to Hilmarton, as the pages of the register duly 
record. In the hope and with the intention of setting out hereafter 
these and many other memorials of the Jacob family, it seems 
nevertheless proper to insert here the will of the husband of the 
Calley heiress :—
