An abstract of the will appears in YAS Record series Vol.9: Yorkshire wills proved in the time of the Commonwealth.
Testator was John Maude of Wakefield, Gentleman.
He left small amounts of money to a number of relatives, including "My aunt Mrs Mary Gill, My aunt Edith, wife of Gervase Norton of Kettlethorpe, my (step)mother,Mrs Sarah Maude, my aunt Margaret Maude, my sister Sarah Maude. Elizabeth Wilson als Maude, reputed daughter of ….Wilson,my cousin Mr Barnabas Otley, cousins John Allot, John Wilson, & John Scot."
To his grandmother Mrs Jane Maude, he left 'my black combe'.The most important and informative bequest was 'a messuage in Westgate to Benjamin Maude, youngest son of John Maude, late of Alverthorpe, my late father deceased.'
A note below the printed abstract says that John was buried at Wakefield 14.6 1647, and that the entry in Burke and Foster that he died in 1686 and buried in the High Choir at Wakefield, 'must have been another John Maude.'
