Will Of John Ougden.pdf

John Ougden, a farmer and grazier from Caldecott, Rutland, wrote his last will and testament, which was proved in 1841. The key points of his will are:

He leaves £20 to his wife, Sarah Ougden, to be paid immediately after his death.
He bequeaths all his household goods, furniture, and effects to his wife for her lifetime, and then to his grandnephew, John Ougden, and Emily Finn, to be divided equally between them.
He leaves legacies of £50 to his niece, Mary Osborne, Sarah Goodwin, and Emily Finn, and £19 to William Morris, and £100 to his nieces, Ann Shelton and Jane Johnson, to be paid six months after his wife's death.
He devises an annuity of £50 to his wife for her lifetime, payable in two half-yearly installments, charged on his real estate and personal effects.
He appoints William Morris and Hodgskin Peach as trustees to manage his real estate and personal effects until his grandnephew, John Ougden, reaches the age of 21.
He bequeaths the residue of his personal estate and effects to his trustees, to be held in trust for his grandnephew, John Ougden, or his lawful issue, if he dies under the age of 21.
* If his grandnephew dies under 21 without issue, the trustees will hold the estate in trust according to the will's further declarations.
