| Notes |
- Anstice leaves legacies in her will to many people, but does not say how any of them are related.
Her executor is William Flight whose wife, Alice's maiden name was Hunt. It would just be possible for Alice to be a daughter of Anstice's marriage to Anthony Hunt, though it would make Alice just 15 when she married; that's not inconceivable, though, as William and Alice seem to have had children over 25 years, suggesting she was fairly young when they married. It's also possible that Alice was a daughter was a daughter of Anstice's marriage to John Russell, and Alice adopted the surname Hunt when her mother remarried. Another possibility is that Alice was Anstice's step-daughter, the daughter of Anthony Hunt's first marriage. But perhaps most likely, Alice was Daniel Hunt's daughter Alice, in which case she was presumably Anstice's step-niece.
Anstice also leaves legacies to Sarah Hunt and her daughters Sarah and Anstice (the latter in a codicil dated 8 Feb 1719/20). Sarah was the widow of John Hunt. Just possibly, John Hunt was the same person as Anstice's son John Russell, but this makes him only 15 when he married. Most likely John is also a son of Anthony's first marriage, though it's also possible he was a son of Daniel.
Finally a William Hunt is mentioned. Possibly he is John and Sarah's son William, in which case he was a child; but the context suggests he was an adult. More likely, he is Daniel's son William.
Surprisingly, Anstice's will makes no mention of Anthony's daughter Mary Oake. It is therefore just possible that the Anstice who left the 1719 will is not Anthony's widow whom he names Anstice in his will. She is described as a widow in the will, but it does not say whose widow she was. [1]
