The will of Millicent Temple a married woman made while her

In a posting from 2002, John Brandon wrote "... A couple years ago, I
mentioned this tidbit to Leslie Mahler, and I think he did find that
the will of Milicent Temple mentioned her brother Henry Flint in New
England. (I think Leslie was going to write this up as a small note
for publication in one of the genealogical journals). Maybe he
wouldn't mind posting the details of Milicent Temple's will ... "

I expect this has been cleared up already, but in case not ...

The diligent Temple Prime has an abstract of Millicent's will in which
she leaves £30 to "Henry Flint of Newe England my well beloved
Brother". Millicent is the wife of Joseph Temple (of the Would in the
parish of Matlocke Derbyshire). Temple Prime places Joseph as being a
son of Edmund Temple of Temple Hall.

This is another example of a will by a married woman while her husband
was alive. Although the abstract has no specific statement about
permission of her husband, he is the executor. Interestingly the will
was again proved during the inter-regnum.
