Will (Indian) Will (probably born in the 1650s or 1660s) was an Indian of the Misquito tribe from what is now Honduras or Nicaragua. In history, he is known for having stayed as a castaway on uninhabited Robinson Crusoe Island, the largest of the archipelago of the Juan Fernández Islands, for more than three years. It is possible that he was the model for Friday, the famous fictitious (cannibal) character created by Daniel Defoe in his novel "Robinson Crusoe".

Will of Fernando Malang Balagtas The alleged "Will of Fernando Malang Balagtas", sometimes also referred to as the "Will of Pansomun" is a disputed early Spanish-era Philippine document which was supposedly issued ""on 25 March 1539"" by a "Don Fernando Malang Balagtas", whose original name (before his baptism as a Catholic) was "Pansomun." Despite its provenance having been questioned by Isabelo de Los Reyes when he first published a copy of the will in the first volume of his seminal compilation ""El Folklore Filipino"", and more recently by Philippine schoalars such as William Henry Scott, this "Will of Pansomun" is still popularly used as a reference for tracing the genealogies of the Rajahs and Lakans who ruled the pre-colonial polities of Maynila and Tondo in the 1570s.
