From Genealogy of the Claypoole Family by Rebecca Irwin Graff, 1893, Pages 56-58 (https://archive.org/details/genealogyofclayp00graf):
========================================================
37. MARY CLAYPOOLE (James,5 etc.) was born 8,14,1660,
in Minsing Lane, London. She came to Pennsylvania in
1683, with her father, on the ship Concord; married 4, 24,
1686, in Phila., Francis Cooke, who also came over with
James Claypoole and was associated with him in the affairs
of the Province. She died a widow in 1726, and apparently
without children, as her estate is divided among her rela-
tives. Her will is of much value, as it names so many
members of the family, and is here given entire.
"MARY COOK, WILL, WIDOW.
"That all my just debts be paid herein named, I nominate
my loving brother, George Claypool, of the City, to be the
executor of this my last will.
"I give and bequeath unto my Brother Joseph Claypool
15lbs worth of household goods. I give unto his wife, Id-
dith, my best silver tankard, marked Fc. M. [duplicate?]
"I give and bequeath unto the seven children, now living,
of my Brother Joseph the sum of six pounds each when
they shall come of age, respectfully. The son's age 21 years,
the daughter's 18 years or day of marriage.
"I give unto Jeremiah Claypool, son of Uncle Norton
Claypool, five pounds worth of house hold goods.
"I give unto James, Nathaniel and William, sons of my
Brother, Nathaniel Claypool, the sum of six pounds each at
the age of 21 years.
"I give unto Mary, John and Elizabeth, the children of

pounds each.

Claypool, the sum of six pounds, paid at 18 years of age or

unto Mary, sister of Lemuel and unto Lemuel's daughter
the sum of 20 pounds.
"I give unto Eliza Hill and, Eliza Teague, of the City of
Philadelphia, member of the monthly meeting thereof of
the people called Quakers, the sum of six pounds.
"I give unto my sister Deborah, wife of George Claypool,
my biggest Silver Tankard, marked Fc. M. [duplicate?]
"I give unto a11 the children of my Brother George Clay-
pool, already born and to be born before the term of my
decease, the sum of six pounds, to be equally divided among
them.
"I give unto my Brother George Claypool, his heirs, as-
signs for ever all that my messuage or tenement and lot of
ground in High St., the appurtenances of which I bought
of Jacob Richardson.
"I give unto George Claypool of the rest and residue of
