Robert doesn't name all of his children in his will of 1570, however, he names his wife Eme, and children, Nicholas, Thomas, William, Niholas, Affra, Sarah and an unborn child.

Stronge circumstantial eveidence, not proof, places Robert, the 1570 testator, as son of Robert the 1554 testator. The connection would be more sure if the younger Robert had named all of his daughters in his will, including Agnes and Margaret, (named by their grandfather). Also, the case would be improved if Robert's children's stepfather, John Aldous, had named daughters Agnes or Margaret; however, these two may be the children of an earlier wife and thus not the stepchildren of John. But residence in Wittingham, and an undoubted son named Nicholas (named for his great-grandfather) are good indications that Robaert is correctly placed.

Robert — West, Eme. Eme died 1589. [Group Sheet]

He was called Nicholas Gowch the elder at the preparation of his will, 28 December 1530. In the will he named two daughters Johan, one "my" daughter Johan Wright and the other "our" daughter Johan Grene. This probably means that h e had a daughter Johan by a first wife and a second daughter Johan by Margaret, his wife at the wrtaa8t8g of his will. the two sons he named, Nicholas and Robert, were "my" sons, not "our" sons, thus likely born to his first wife.

The will was probated, 6 Feabruary 1530/1, less than six weeks after it was written.

Nicholas — Margaret. [Group Sheet]
