As Kiterunner pointed out it seemed to be a DIY will so was in some doubt to it's authenticity this is the rest of the will very boring but it is to prove that it's Robert's writing main witness Ebenezer Jackson.

"Appeared personally Edward Pettengill(?) of Woodford in the County of Essex Coach Master and Ebenezer Jackson of the same place Letter Carrier and being sworn to depose the truth jointly and severally made oath as follows and first the said Edward Pattengill for himself saith that he knew and was well acquainted with Robert Hoye for several years before and down to the time of his death and also with his manner and character of handwriting and subscription having often seen him write and write and subscribe his names to writings and having now carefully received(?) and perused the Paper writing hereunto annexed purporting to be and contain the last Will and Testament of the said deceased the said Will beginning thus “In the Name of God Amen this being my last Will and Testament” ending thus “dated this twenty fifth of November 1832” Ann Walliss Mackey or otherwise Ann Wallis Hoye whole & sole Executrix and thus subscribed Robert Hoye testator” and having also observed the word “three” as the said word appears interlined between the ninth and tenth lines of the said Will he this Deponent Edward Pettengill does depose that he verily and in his conscience believes the whole body series and contents of the said Will beginning and ending as aforesaid (save only the names “Ebenezer Jackson” appearing thereon) and the said Names & word “Robert Hoye testator” subscribed thereto and the said word “Three” interlined therein to be all of the Proper handwriting and subscription of the said deceased.

As transcribed by Kiterunner I haven't done much it's all Kiterunner's work.

Probably not connected but it's not a very common name and also the occupations intrigue me Wheelwright came up a few times and so did Yeoman in some other stuff that I dismissed a long time ago because I couldn't find any connection.

£7 not so much money the amount I've spent on FH doesn't bear thinking about to be honest.
