Francis's father (also Francis) was Sheriff of Oxford in 1770. Francis's son-in-law John WASTIE (formerly John Ingram LOCKHART) was MP for Oxford. Although Probate was first granted in 1818 to his son-in-law (the other two executors renounced), both he and his wife died before completing the execution (hardly surprising), and Admon was eventually granted to a residuary legatee in 1837. This is by far the longest and most complex will yet contributed, and my grateful thanks are due to Eve McLaughlin for paraphrasing it in understandable language. Her paraphrase appears below, after the "Translation". She remarks that mortgages of over £7000 and £5000 are ridiculously large (which indeed they are). But the figures are repeated several times in the text, written rather than in figures. It may not be a coincidence that in both cases the property being mortgaged is that which he is settling upon his wives, and in each case the money is advanced by the trustees of the settlement. There is a series of clauses concerning the sale of property, with the proceeds to be divided 50/50 between his wife and daughter -- there is so much crossing-out and insertion (said by the clerk to have been present in the original) that it makes little sense. The mysterious pair John Wastie and Ann Arnott (married 1808) nee Wastie are described as brother James's "relations". However, according to Eynsham PRs James was married to Sarah HALL, and their children John and Ann were baptised 1755 and 1759. They were therefore Francis's nephew and niece, and Ann was almost 50 at her own marriage. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Ann Wastie the relict and Thomas Toovey the other Executors ... having formerly renounced ... ======================================================================== Paraphrase by Eve McLaughlin Francis Wastie first married Mary Gilkes, daughter of Richard of NTH Charlton. By a marriage settlement dated 15-16 June 1778 he settled on her (if she outlived him) and on their children, various freehold Estates in Church Cowley, Temple Cowley and Hockmore in Iffley, plus half his manor of Church Cowley which he held on a lease of lives from the Dean and Chapter of Christchurch Oxford. [lease of lives; a vague term consisting of the lifetimes of three persons, usually the purchaser and two young people, not necessarily relatives. If one died, a fourth life could usually be added in for a small extra fee] The dowry brought by Mary consisted of her future inheritance (on the death of her aunt, Mary Gibbard) of the lordship of North Marston and Oving and an estate at BKM Ludgershall. This property was held after the death of Mary (Gilkes) Wastie by Francis, her husband, by "courtesy of England", meaning for life by a husband who had sired children by the heiress of the property. It was granted to his daughter on her marriage. Francis and Mary had two children, Mary Gibbard Wastie, now over 21 and married to John Ingram Lockhart, and Caroline Matilda who died as a baby. Francis now confirmed the marriage settlement and the inheritance (after his death) by his daughter, Mary Gibbard Lockhart. of the named properties, both those included in the settlement and those in his wife's dowry, plus a cottage at Church Cowley with 4½ acres (formerly Hewes) and all her mother's plated goods. Francis remarried (to try to get a son) Ann Earle, daughter of Timothy and Dorothy Earle of HRT Moorhouse Rickmansworth. By the second marriage settlement dated 15-16 Feb 1791 she and her children were to have a freehold estate at BKM Oving which he had bought from William Francis Spicer and property at Temple Cowley. She would have this for life as widow and then it would go to her sons in birth order or failing sons, her daughters as tenants in common. [In fact, she had no children]. Anne also got £400, her own plate and household goods brought to the marriage, with his carriage and horses, wines and liquors for her own use unconditionally and the use of all other household goods and effects for life. She was to make a full inventory of these and if she didn't want to use them, part could be sold and invested to provide income - and natural wearing out was allowed for. What remained at her death was to form part of his residual estate. The son in law, John Ingram Lockhart was left £100 and forgiven the debt of money borrowed to bring about his recent election as MP. Minor bequests were to "Relation Mrs Frances Wastie" of £20 and an annuity of £16 out of lands at Barnard Gate, Eynsham, with power to distrain if not paid on time. Thomas Toovey (friend and trustee) got £50, and a mysterious William son of the late Mary Brown of Littlemoor £40 [illegitimate child or old nanny?]. The issue was complicated by the inheritance by Francis from his brother James Wastie in 1803 of a substantial estate in land and personal effects in Eynsham. This looked good but proved to be encumbered by a mortgage of £700 to the Duke of Marlborough and, more seriously, by a debt of £1260 incurred by [brother in law] John Cook of Gloucester, wine merchant, to Joseph Pitt of Cirencester, banker. James Wastie had been persuaded to back this bond, and when John Cook defaulted Francis, as heir of James, was left to pay what had become 'his' debt. He paid off the whole principal and interest except £200 and this he proposed to recoup. His mother had left Hannah Cook, wife of John, £100 cash and the rents of cottages occupied by John King and Elizabeth Quartermain (and owned by John Cook, presumably as husband of Hannah). These were intended to be assigned to James Wastie as security in 1802 when he backed the bond. The cash and rents were to be withheld from the Cooks until they paid the debt. James had given in his will the life use of 41 acres of land allotted to him at Eynsham Heath, lately enclosed, part of land bought on 900 yrs lease from the Duke of Marlborough; with a house built on it; and a close (occupied by John Enston, bought on lease from James Duberly but subject to life use by Enston) containing 3 acres; and land on the heath bought from Samuel Dring of 2 acres, to a John Wastie and his sister Ann, now Mrs Jonathan Arnott [see Note]. After the deaths of John Wastie and Ann Arnott these premises were to revert to his sister, Hannah Cook, separately from her husband. None of the purchases were quite completed in James's lifetime and they, plus small allotments of 1ac and 2ac freehold, were completed by Francis, as heir at law. Francis conveyed the premises to the use of Hannah Cook and her children after her, under trustees to keep them from her husband's control or use. The trustees were his widow Ann Wastie, John Ingram Lockhart his son in law, and Thomas Toovey of Nettlebed. Hannah's heirs were her daughters, Mary, Sarah and Elizabeth Cook, all unmarried [and no further children were expected]. James Wastie had left his sister Hannah 2 pieces of land called Mooms Close, but if she died in his lifetime, it was to go to her daughters. She didn't, and Francis, as heir at law, confirmed the land to the three daughters equally. The rest of the apparently large estate at Eynsham proved to be encumbered by a mortgage of £700 and the trustees were given the property with instructions to sort this out. First, they were to fell and sell all the trees, timber and small wood on the land, if that was not enough then to sell Francis's land of 4 grounds [enclosed and tithe free, so a good spec] called Monkswood (occupied by Richard Brain), and a farmhouse on it late Quarterman's (occupied by Richard Bowerman), and if still necessary a piece of land on Eynsham Cow Leys, formerly part of the old common, and pay off £400 of the £700 mortgage, using any residue as described later. The estate at Ludgershall and other estates were to be sold, plus the 22 acres of woodland in Eynsham which James bought from James Duberley, the proceeds to go half to wife Ann, half to daughter Mary. The estates at Oving were to go to daughter Mary for life, then to wife Ann. Lands at Oving and Temple Cowley settled on wife Ann. The freehold estate at BKM Ludgershall bought from Joseph Bevenham of Aylesbury is subject to a mortgage of £7100-15s to the trustees. Estate at Great Haseley held from Dean and canons of Windsor (held by lease of lives) to trustees, to be sold to satisfy mortgage of £7100-15s charged on Ludgershall estate and then pay the rest of the £700 mortgage on my brother's purchase from the Duke of Marlborough. All estates at Oving and Temple Cowley comprising the settlement on daughter Mary G Lockhart to trustees, and her receipt sufficient. After her death, to go to her second son, or sons in order of birth, failing whom, shared by daughters. If no issue, then to John Ingram Lockhart or his assigns for his lifetime, then as dau Mary shall have indicated in a will (as widow) or deed in writing while married. If she doesn't make such a disposition, then to revert to the children of Hannah Cook or if they are dead, to my right heirs forever. My leaseholds to my wife Ann for life, then to my daughter Mary G Lockhart, then her son at 21 etc or as Mary G Lockhart directs in writing, then to any heir except Hannah Cook and family. My provision for my wife Ann is in lieu of her customary entitlement to a third of my whole estate for life and any demands on my personal estate other than what she is entitled to under the marriage settlement. Any of my daughter's family inheriting my estate is to assume my surname and arms in place of his own. If they will not get an Act of Parliament to do this, the estate shall pass on to the next heir in line who will do so. No heir shall be admiited under the age of 21 - the trustees to act instead and lease out the land if need be. Ann is to have use of all leaseholds for life, then Mary, as long as the stated or renewed terms last. Use any profits to maintain and bring up the Lockhart children. If Mary G Lockhart dies with no or no surviving children, then the property to John Ingram Lockhart for his lifetime, then to my right heirs at law. Trustees to pay the rent due under the lease of Great Haseley promptly, and rent out and collect proceeds diligently on other properties, to make the best use of the estates. There is a mortgage on the leaseholds of £5000 due to George Elwes also. If he calls in the mortgage, sell the lease of the estate if necessary. To pay off the debts [mortgages on lands] sell the property at Oving if necessary and I hope my wife will let the Ludgershall estate go if need be. Notes. Married women could not normally make wills and all they had was their husband's. Therefore special arrangements had to be made to prevent John Cook from grabbing Hannah's portion, and special permission for Mary Lockhart to make a deed of appointment to dispose of her own property even while married. Obviously, what Francis could not predict is how much the trustees would get for the parts of the massive estate he directed to be sold, so some more are to be sold if necessary. The stated sums in thousands for mortgages look to be too much for what was being bought - could they be in hundreds instead? John Cook was evidently a straw man from whom no repayment of his own debt could be expected. Francis just arranged to keep his paws off any property which might have come into the hands of his wife (and therefore be his to squander). There were no Lockhart children, or none who lived long. John Ingram Lockhart therefore took his father in law's name and possibly struggled with juggling sales and payments of mortgages. It also appears that the remainder to the Cook daughters came into operation, and the eldest was not married. It suggests that neither were the other daughters, or surely one of their husbands would have muscled in to take administration. True, Mary Cook seems to have been named as legatee in the 'deed or writing' of Mary Gibbard Lockhart/Wastie. I wonder what happened to the estate after the Cooks died? And who were John Wastie and his sister Ann Arnott? Maybe illegitimate, since Francis does not name them as potential heirs at law. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
