Henry stated the names of his wives as Thomasyn and Elizabeth, first in the part about praying for his soul, their souls, and the souls of his parents, paternal grandparents and great grandparents, deceased son Thomas, and other unnamed deceased children and, second, in the instructions for building his tomb with an image of Thomasyn and her arms on his right and an image of Elizabeth and her arms on his left.
Henry mentioned sons-in-law Edmund Bedyngfeld and Thomas Bonam. He bequeathed C li to Thomas Bonam's eldest son John, when age 20 and if he should die to second son William and if he should die to potential future sons in succession. He bequeathed C li to the son and heir of Edmund in like manner, but since he did not state any names perhaps any such heirs were not yet born or were very young. He bequeathed to "Anne Bonam doughter of Thomas Bonam xx li to be paid as is aforesaid" (as specified for John Bonam).
Henry bequeathed to "William Latham and my doughter his wife xx li" (perhaps a second husband of Isabel/Elizabeth's daughter Anne (Norreys) Sulyard). Henry also bequeathed to Eustace Sulyarde x li and to Myriable Sulyarde x li and willed that Frances Sulyarde "be found to scole for the space of iij yeres after my decesse."
