Estate was probated 1544 in Archdeacon Court, Berkshire, England. The will lists such remarkably similar sets of sons that she must be considered the same as Isabell, widow of Nicholas. She named her son John, the elder, to be supervisor of her will. It was he who had the responsibility that masses should be said for the health of her soul. The next sons she mentioned were Henry and Thomas Wilder, who were not named in her husband's will. Next she made bequests to John Wilder, the younger, and to William Wilder, and gave two sheep to John and Thomas, sons of John, the elder, as named in her husband's will. She added 20 pounds 13 shillings fourpence for Elizabeth Wilder, whose relationship she did not mention, to be paid to John, the elder. Finally she named sons Richard and Nicholas Wilder to be executors, and to have residue of her estate.
