Elizabeth Gibbs, a daughter of John Gibbes, and at his death in 1759 without a will, the property passed to his only living son, John Izard. During the life of John Izard a large addition was made to "Cedar Grove" of continguous lands under the will of his cousin, Paul Jenys. Paul Diston who married Elizabeth Turgis, had on April 13, 1710, received a grant for 110 acres and on May 25, 1711, another grant for 196 acres to which seems to have been added 250 acres granted to Lady Elizabeth Blake October 6, 1704, and also 100 acres granted John Boddican March 1, 1681, which seems to have been acquired by Lady Rebecca Axtell and transferred to Thomas Diston. At Thomas Diston's death, the property passed to his son, Thomas Diston, Jr. The widow, Elizabeth Diston married her second cousin, Paul Jenys, and had by him a son, Paul Jenys. Either during the life of Thomas Diston or Paul Jenys, there seems to have been added to the property 200 acres granted to Andrew Percival 22 March, 1682, and the remainder of the GRANT TO JOHN CANTEY (is the same Cantey family mentioned in my Jenys,Jennings,Ginnings law suit over land?) less 298 acres sold to James Baker making in all 1,129 acres. Paul Jenys occupied the property until his death in 1752, when he devised the property in case of the death of his infant son, George Jenys, to his cousins, Walter, Thomas and John Izard and it finally vested in Walter and Elizabeth the daughter of the elder John, and on a settlement between them the land became the property of Walter and passed to his only son, John.
