Notes

RICHARD ARNOLD (abt 1530-abt 1595) was an English landowner who held the manor of Bagber at Milton Abbas in Dorset. In his will, made on 15 May 1593 when he was probably in his sixties, he mentions: AGATHA JAQUITA FRAUSEN YOUNG
his wife, indicating that she was alive at that date;
his son Richard the elder, of Alton (Pancras), who is the main heir;
his son John the elder;
his son Thomas;
his son Richard the younger;
his son Henry the younger, under age 22 so born after 15 May 1571 (as there is no mention of Henry the elder, he is probably dead);
his youngest son, John the younger, under age 22 so born on 15 May 1571;
his unmarried daughter Anne, under age 18 so born after 15 May 1575;
his unmarried daughter Christian, under age 18 so born after 15 May 1575;
Rebecca, daughter of his son-in-law William Arnold, who is under age 20 and so born after 15 May 1573 (assuming the "in law" is correct, this means that he had a daughter, possibly deceased, who married a William Arnold);
his unnamed godson, the son of parson Arnold, under age 22 and so born after 15 May 1571;
his friends and executors Alexander Bret, Richard Collyer Christopher Dorridge, and Edmund Huntly. (Edmund Huntly is the brother of Ann Huntly, who shortly after married his son Henry the younger).

The will was proved at the Prerogative Court of Canterbury on 9 July 1595 and can be downloaded from https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D931236 PROB 11/86/115 Will of Richard Arnold, Gentleman of Milton, Dorset 9 July 1595.
