Buryed 1712. 



Martha widow of John Jacob of Norton in this County Gent. Daught r 

 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 : —
