Will of Grace Church of Medmenham 1776



Will both written and proven 1776.

Spinster.

Says she sick and weak of body but of sound and perfect mind, memory and understanding.

To "my young brother" Mark Church a ring in rememberance.

To niece Martha Gray my bed, bedding, linen, clothes, wearing apparel and anything belonging to them.

To James Moss of Walworth in the county of Surrey bricklayer all ready money, any stock in funds, securities and any other personal estate left after debts and funeral expenses paid. James is made executor of the will.

Grace signed with a mark.

Witnesses: Henry Allnutt of Great Marlow attorney and William Bitmead.

This will summary was created from Charlotte Day's transcription of the original P.C.C will held at the National Archives Kew.

Grace's father Thomas a farmer of Medmenham and her mother Mary died in rapid succession of each other in 1770. I will transcribe their wills here in the future.

We focus on Marlow but try to include some surrounding area content. Over 100 will summaries are available on this blog. See the Will Transcriptions Index. More Medmenham related posts are indexed here.
