Additional Comments:
I am unable to say which Thomas Blundell it was who witnessed this will.  It 
is probably Thos IV, b after 1716, mar bet 1736-1750, he & wife Jemima sold 
some land in Westmo in 1753, and I have no death date for him.  Have not found 
children for him either.
Thos Blundell, Sr (grandfather) died after he wrote deed to grandson in 1707-
within 5-10 years.  Thos Jr  I haven’t a death date for, but was born 1650s so 
doubt that he was still alive.  Thos III left a 1732 will and died shortly 
thereafter.
