Whilst I have no intention of producing a full transcription, there is a Will for Abigail POOR of Ashmansworth [HRO ref: 1779B/42] worthy of closer examination by anyone with a WHALE/BECKLY/SKEATS/POORE interest. Legatees include: Grandsons and Granddaughters George WHALE, Mary WHALE, Sara WHALE and John WHALE, the sons and daughters of 'my daughter Mary WHALE, wife of George WHALE dec'd' £4 a pease [sic]. My 'loveing frind' James POORE of Crux Easton, Yeoman. My daughter Abigail the Wife of Thomas BECKLY during the term of her natural life one annuity by yearly sums of £4. Granddaughter Mary SKEATS, Jacob SKEATS and George SKEATS. Three children of my son William CARTER deceased, namely Hannah, Elizabeth & Ann, the yearly sums of £3. Granddaughter Mary CARTER 1/-. Grandson John BECKLY £10. My daughter Elizabeth wife of James POORE One guinea. To said James POORE One guinea. This is not a will that is 'easy on the eye': hence my hesitancy to spend a great deal of time on transcribing via microfiche. Dorothy J.
