About Margaret Relfe

The last six lines are the important ones. Mary refers to "my daughter Relphe", who must be Margaret Relfe (nee Farewell). She then goes on to refer to "her (Margaret's) daughter Bridgett". Towards the end of the page she bequeaths forty pounds to "Bridgett Relphe"... It is unfortunate that Mary chooses to describe her daughters in this way (earlier in the will she writes about "my daughter Norris") so we do not get the name Margaret. However, the will is comparable to the headstone of Bridget Relfe as a genealogical source in that in links three generations of women - Mary Seymour, her daughter Margaret (?) Farewell, and her granddaughter Bridget Relfe.
