Will Summary Thomas Bowen of Marlow 1844

Late Victualer [of the Red Lion, West Street. His son Thomas Junior took it over when Thomas retired. Thomas Senior lived next door in his retirement]

Will proved 1844. Written 1842. He died 1843. 

Says he of sound mind.

After all debts and funeral expenses paid, to my son Thomas and daughter Mary wife of George Dorell my house in Quoiting Place [now called Quoiting Square]. This property was in the occupation of a Mary Dorell [seems like a different Mary Dorell?? Note Thomas's son Thomas junior had married a Priscilla Dorrel of Kingston Oxfordshire in 1832. You can see her grave here ] 

Also to daughter Mary a four poster bed, the furniture that goes with it [the curtains and hangings], a feather bed and two blankets. She had these items at her home already.

Executors: Robert Clark builder and George Wyatt farmer, both of Great Marlow.

Witnesses:

Robert Crake, George Wyatt and William ....

I transcribed and summarized this will from a copy ordered from the National Archives.
