If Freegift die before the age of one and twenty years, reversion to sons Nathaniel and Hopestill and their heirs forever. During the minority of Freegift 10 pounds a year to be paid to wife Alice toward her jointure of 20 pounds made by me to her during her life, the other 10 pounds of the said 20 pounds to be paid out of the lands bequeathed to sons Joseph and Hopestill. To son Freegift at the age of one and twenty years my messuage with the barn and other buildings, orchard, garden and seven pieces of land containing seventeen acres now in the occupation of the widow Gylbert, lying in the parish of Cranbrook upon the den of Omenden. If he die before said age, reversion to my son Joseph and his heirs.

[Signed] Thomas Tilden Witnesses: Suretonhie Nicholes, Robart Hall, and Willyam Avsten. Proved 20 June 1617 by Joseph Tilden, son and executor named in the will. [The will was contested 23 September 1617, the widow Alice Tilden and sons Nathaniel Tilden of Tenterden, Hopestill Tilden of the town of Sandwich, and Thomas TIlden and Freegift Tilden of Wye bringing suit against the executor Joseph Tilden. (Doubtless because the testator left to son Thomas but 5 pounds while the other sons recieved generous portions of land.) 27 March 1618 sentence was gicen for the confirmation of the will, the judgement being that the testator was sane at the time the will was made] Consistory Court of Canterbury, original will, bundle for 1617.)p150 Tilden Enries in the Bishop's Transcripts of Wye
1617 Mr. Thomas Tilden an aged man buried 6 Junep151 "Thomas Tilden of Tenterden, the testator of 1616-17, born probably at Benenden after 1541, was buried at Wye 6 Jun 1617. He married first at Tenterden, 10 Mar 1576/7, Alice Biggs, who was buried at Tenterden 13 May 1593 ; married secondly, 13 Nov 1593, Ellen Evernden, widow of Rolvinden. The date of her death is unknown, but Thomas Tilden left a widow Alice, probably the mother of his son Freegift. Between 1604 and 1614 Thomas Tilden left Tenterden, and moved perhaps to East Guilford in Sussex, not far across the border from Tenterden, as he owned lands there. What reason he had for moving to Wye does not appear."
