Looking at the way this will is written, it seems that Richard was widowed and
had no surviving heirs or surviving brothers or sisters (at least not �of age�),
only a surviving niece as his nearest kin. It is believed that this Richard was
the one christened in 1700 as son of Nicholas and Mary. But this Richard
supposedly had four surviving children in 1749, so why did he not leave anything
to them? Unless they had already received their inheritance? Who is Mary
Craddock? Could it be that as none of the children were yet of age in 1749, that
Mary was their guardian, and Richard was providing for them through her?
