  	Robert's son Henry disputed his will (Mallett 1764), in which Robert left much of his inheritance to his son-in-law Shadrack Kemp, rather than to his wife or children. Henry entered a caveat to stop probate, but later withdrew it. The will states: 'To my wife Margery Mallet certain goods which were her own before her marriage; to my 4 children, Robert Mallet, Henry Mallet, Grace Richards and Ann Mallett/1s; the residue to my son in Law Shadrach Kemp.' The document contains a statement that Robert Mallett was of sound mind when making the will. A fuller version of the will of Robert Mallet, Miller, is given by Ken Smith; Day 6th January 1764; Proved 1st February 1765; Executor Shedrack Kemp, son-in-law: 'To my loving wife, Margery MALLETT, one brass pot, two iron pots, two pewter plates and a feather bed, all of which were her own before marriage and in money, 2s 6d. To my children, Robert Mallett, Henry Mallett, Grace Richards and Ann, one shilling each. The rest of my goods to my son-in-law now living at Pewson in the parish of Dowland, yeoman'. Ken Smith queries whether Shadrack Kemp may actually have been a stepson. He also adds that (based on information from Shirley Fleming) it is likely that Margery Quick was actually the widow of Philip Quick who died in 1757 at Dowland.
