No legend was included, so we don't know the purpose of all the columns. I did find that "M" equals "married." Nicholas and Ann are the only CORBINs in the index. Nicholas has a wall plaque while Ann has a floor plaque.

This will is extremely difficult to read. I don't know when or if I'm going to plow through it entirely. To begin with, he appears to be a very wealthy man, and his will runs to slightly more than five very packed pages. I do see that he mentions daughters Ann and Sophia and sons William, George, and Frederick(?). I didn't find mention of a wife, but I could easily be missing it. The will appears to have been signed 1 Oct 1803 and was proved on 22 July 1805 in London.
