Probate 27 Aug 1818 London with a Codicil ... John Ingram Lockhart Esq one of the Executors ... Anne Wastie the relict and Thomas Toovey Esq the other Executors having first renounced.

Admon 11 Aug 1837 ... goods etc left unadministered by John Wastie (formerly John Ingram Lockhart) Esq deceased whilst living one of the Executors ... was granted to Mary Cook spinster the niece of the deceased and one of the appointed names in a will of Mary Gibbard Lockhart (wife of John Wastie formerly John Ingram Lockhart) deceased whilst living the daughter ...
Transcriber's Notes
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.

... me Francis Wastie of Great Haseley and of Church Cowley Esq, late Major in the Militia Regiment and now Lieutenant Colonel in the Eastern Regiment of Local Militia ...

[Throughout his will he appoints his present wife Ann Wastie, his son-in-law John Ingram Lockhart and his friend Thomas Toovey as Trustees for various purposes. They are below (after the first time) rendered simply as "my Trustees" (not to be confused with the two separate sets of trustees for his two marriage settlements).]
  • I desire to be buried in my family vault at Church Cowley in a plain manner and I direct that a proper inscription to my memory be put upon the monument which I erected to the memory of my deceased wife and daughter
  • Settlement on first wife
    • Before my first marriage to Mary Gilkes, dau Richard of NTH Charlton, I settled upon her (in June 1778) various freehold estates in Church Cowley, Temple Cowley and Hockmore (Iffley), and half my Manor etc in Church Cowley (leased from Christ Church Oxford).
    • The settlement gave the use of the properties to myself for life, then to my wife for life, then to all our children equally (unless modified by my wife and myself or the survivor of us) and in default to my heirs.
    • Trustees of the settlement were her father Richard Gilkes and my brother James Wastie (now dead).
    • We had only two children: Caroline Matilda Wastie died soon after birth; Mary Gibbard Wastie is now over 21 and married to John Ingram Lockhart Esq of BRK Tulney Park, now MP for the City of Oxford.
    • No modification to the settlement having been made jointly by my wife and myself, I now give the whole thing (after my death) to my daughter Mary Gibbard Lockhart.
  • Dowry of first wife
    • My first wife Mary Gilkes was the niece and heir apparent of Mary Gibbard of NTH Charlton.
    • On our marriage, Mary Gibbard signed over to my wife the Manors of BKM North Marston and Oving with the Manor House and various premises belonging.
    • The use of the properties was given to myself for life, then to my wife for life, then to all our children equally (unless modified by my wife and myself or the survivor of us), and in default to the heirs of Mary Gibbard.
    • Trustees as before were her father Richard Gilkes and my brother James Wastie (now dead).
    • Before the marriage of my daughter Mary to John Ingram Lockhart I gave the whole thing to her and her heirs etc for ever.
    • My wife also owned an estate at BKM Ludgershall which came to me after her death, and I signed that over to my daughter also.
    • I also give my copyhold cottage in Church Cowley (late Hewes) with 4½ acres to my daughter for the rest of my term and interest.
    • I give my daughter all the plate which her mother possessed at our marriage.
  • Settlement on second wife
    • Before my marriage to my present wife Anne Earle, dau Timothy Esq and Dorothy of HRT Moorhouse (Rickmansworth), I settled upon her (in Feb 1791) various freehold estates at BKM Oving (bought from William Francis Spicer Esq) and at Temple Cowley
    • The settlement gave the use of the properties to myself for life, then to my wife for life, then to our sons in age order and their heirs, and if no sons then to all our daughters as tenants in common and their heirs, and in default to my right heirs.
    • Trustees of the settlement were George Elwes and Henry Earle.
    • I now confirm the settlement.
  • I give my wife Anne Wastie all the plate etc which she possessed at our marriage, also my carriage and pair of horses and my stock of wines, liquors and household stores for her own absolute benefit.
  • I give my wife the use of all my other plate and household furniture, china, linen and household effects for life or for as long as she wishes, and for the better care thereof I direct that an Inventory be taken and that my wife shall sign one part of it to be kept by my Executors, but if my wife does not use [any of the equipment] but prefers to take it at an appraisement, then I direct that it shall be appraised to her or sold by my executors, the proceeds invested in their names, and the interest paid to my wife for life for her own use; and after her decease the securities (or such equipment which has not been sold, worn out, lost or destroyed by fire or other inevitable accident) shall sink into the residue of my personal estate dealt with below.
  • I give the following legacies, to be paid within six months after my decease but without interest:
    • To my wife Anne Wastie £400
    • To John Ingram Lockhart £100
    • To my friend Thomas Toovey of Nettlebed Esq (one of my Trustees and Executors) £50 for his trouble in the execution of the trusts etc.
    • To William Brown the son of Mary Brown late of Littlemore widow deceased £40
    • To my relation Mrs Frances Wastie of Cowley £20
    • To John Ingram Lockhart all the money he owes me for what I paid towards his election at Oxford.
    • To Mrs Frances Wastie an annuity of £16 for life free of deductions, to be paid in equal half yearly payments on 29 Sep and 25 Mar, the first payment to be made on the first of those days after my decease; and I charge my three West Grounds at Barnard Gate (Eynsham) called Bernard Gate with the payment, and if it shall ever be 30 days in arrear then I give her powers of entry distress and sale.
  • Problems due to death of brother James
    • By the death of my brother James Wastie (3 Jan 1803) I inherited a considerable freehold, copyhold and leasehold Estate at Eynsham and a considerable personal Estate, under his will or as his heir at law and Customary Heir, subject to the payment of his debts and funeral and testamentary expenses.
      • Since his decease I have found from his papers that John Cook of the City of Glouceater, wine merchant, owes £1260 to Joseph Pitt of GLS Cirencester, banker and attorney, and my brother James was prevailed upon to join John Cook in a Bond dated 8 June 1802 to Joseph Pitt for payment of the debt.
      • I have paid off all the £1260 secured by the Bond, and the interest due on it, except about £200.
      • Now I direct that £100 which my late mother left to Hannah Cook (the wife of John Cook), and the rents of the Estate which John King and Elizabeth Quarterman hold from John Cook and his wife Hannah (which legacies and rents were agreed to be assigned to my brother James as an indemnity on his paying the debt to Joseph Pitt) shall not be paid to them, but retained and applied towards repaying to my Executors what I have paid of the debt, and towards discharging what now remains of it with the interest and costs.
    • My brother James Wastie by his will gave to his relations John Wastie and John's sister Ann (now the wife of Jonathan Arnott) [see Note] the following properties:
      • A piece of freehold land which was his allotment out of a Parcel Ground taken out of Eynsham Heath (part of which Ground he bought from the Duke of Marlborough) of about 41 acres then lately inclosed.
      • A house etc at Barnard Gate adjoining Eynsham Heath then in the occupation of John Enston (which house etc were bought from the Executors of James Duberley subject to the life Interest of John Enston).
      • A piece of land of about 3 acres adjoining the premises of John Enston at Barnard Gate
      • A piece of land of about 2 acres on Eynsham Heath which he had lately purchased from Samuel Dring.
      • All which lands, house and premises he gave equally to John Wastie and Ann Arnott for their lives or the longest liver of them.
      • But
        • About 25 acres of the land purchased from the Duke of Marlborough was not conveyed to my brother until after the execution of his will, so the Allotment (or a proportion of it) descended to me as his heir at law.
        • Other parts of the freehold premises (two Allotments of freehold land adjoining the house Cottage at Barnards Gate, one of one acre, the other of 2 acres) were not conveyed to my brother until after the execution of his will and also descended to me as his heir at law.
        • The house at Barnards Gate and other part of the lands etc are leasehold for 900 years.
        • The part of the lands etc purchased from Samuel Dring is Copyhold of the Manor of Eynsham, and my brother was never admitted Tenant thereto, so it has descended to me as his Customary Heir.
      • Now I give [all of it] to John Wastie and Ann Arnott for their lives, as in my brother's will.
    • After the deaths of John Wastie and Ann Arnott, my brother James gave all [their property] to his sister Hannah (wife of John Cook) and her heirs, declaring that the rents etc should be for her separate use, and that if she died before she inherited the Estates they should go to her child{ren) equally.
      • Now I give [all of it] to my wife Ann Wastie, John Ingram Lockhart and Thomas Toovey and their heirs etc during the life of Hannah Cook, Upon Trust to receive the rents etc as and when payable, and pay them into the hands of Hannah Cook for her own sole use (notwithstanding any Coverture but without anticipation), and the rents etc shall not be liable to the control etc of John Cook or of any future husband, and her receipts alone shall notwithstanding any Coverture be a good discharge.
      • After the decease of Hannah Cook I give [all of it] equally to Mary Cook Sarah Cook and Elizabeth Cook her daughters as tenants in common and not as joint tenants and to their heirs etc forever.
      • Similarly I give the leasehold Cottage, Lands etc (which my brother had given to Hannah Cook) to my Trustees Upon similar trust for Hannah's separate use for life, and after her decease upon trust as according to my brother's will
    • He gave to Hannah Cook for her separate use two pieces of land called the Mooms? Closes, but if she died in his lifetime he gave them to her lawful heir(s).
      • As she survived him, I understand that properties reverted to me on the death of my brother.
      • After the decease of Hannah Cook I give the two pieces of land called Mooms? Closes equally to Mary Cook Sarah Cook and Elizabeth Cook as tenants in common and not as joint tenants and to their heirs etc forever.
    • All the unbequeathed remainder of the freehold properties at Eynsham which came to me from my brother, whether willed to me or as his legal heir as above, I give to my Trustees, subject to the £700 mortgage taken out by my brother after the execution of his will (and the interest) Upon Trust
      • To cut down and sell the timber and underwood growing there (at their discretion)
      • If the proceeds are in their opinion insufficient for the purposes below, then to sell such of the following properties as may be necessary:
        • My old enclosed tithe-free Estate called Monkwoods at Eynsham, now in the occupation of Mr Richard Brain, and the house thereon now occupied by Mr Richard Bowerman called late Quartermans.
        • The piece of meadow ground on Eynsham Cow Leys adjoining Monkwoods called my Cowleys (part of the old Cow Common at Eynsham)
      • And to stand possessed of the proceeds Upon Trust:
        • To pay £400 off the £700 mortgage (with its interest)
        • To pay the residue as directed below concerning the proceeds of the sale of my Luggershall Estate and others.
  • My Wood and Woodland in Eynsham of about 22½ acres called Devalls Coppice which my brother bought from the Trustees of James Duberley Esq, and all the timber and underwood of the premises at Eynsham not already disposed of as above, shall be in trust as follows:
    • Half in trust for my wife Ann Wastie and her assigns for life, and after her decease for the same purposes as the other half.
    • The other half (after my decease) in trust for my daughter Mary Gibbard Lockhart and her assigns for life, for her separate use as directed below for the other Estates etc given to her at Oving and elsewhere.
    • [The next paragraph is said by the copy-clerk to have originally contained the strike-outs, so the reader must make up his/her own mind what it means]
      After her decease In trust for John Wastie and Ann Arnott equally as tenants in common during the joint natural lives of the said John Wastie and Ann Arnott and after the decease of the first, in trust for the survivor for life, and after the decease of the survivor of them the said John Wastie and Ann Arnott upon trust to convey [the properties] as directed below for the properties at Oving and Temple Cowley settled on my present wife.

========================================================================
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.
