Only a handful of women had anything that might be defined as a byname. Of those, all were bynames of relation, that is names that specify who someone's father, mother, husband, or sister is. The pattern of these appears to simply explain who people are in relation to the testator (writer of the will). The exception is the identification of women as someone's wife. The women in these wills are almost without exception blood relations of the testator, while the men to whom they are married are in-laws.
