I have been told that George Jacobs left his grand-daughter Margaret "six pieces of silver" in his will, as a reference to her betrayal and his impending death on the gallows. Does anyone have a copy of his will, or can someone post it on-line, especially the lines that pertain to Margaret's inheritance?

Also, does anyone have the details on his widow, Mary Jacobs, marrying the widow John Wilds (whose wife (Sarah (Averhill) Wilds) was also hung as a witch in 1692?) When were they married, and where?
