Family] Removal Order This
Order was served on Stephen Harvey, his wife Love, and their children Stephen

in West Teignmouth, and since he hadn't gained settlement anywhere else the
Order was issued to have the family removed to West Teignmouth. Order dated 24th February 1720/1, single

Abstract of Title to Property in Nunford This
1843 abstract gives details of persons involved in various transactions going
back more to 1726 when Axminster clothier Joseph Parrett acquired a house
etc, land known as Rack Close, The Mead, Souther Wareham, Great Wareham. This
was sold to Edward Hooper in 1757, who gave it to his godson Nathaniel
Gundry. A second part of the property had already [1746] been acquired by
Nathaniel Gundry, consisting of a house and an orchard called Peter's Mead.
In 1806 Nathaniel Gundry - then living in Middlesex - sold the whole property
to Sir William de la Pole. The abstract also covers a one-fourth share of the
nearby manor of Whitford which Sir William de la Pole also acquired in 1806,
this having been previously the concern of the Williams familiy. The abstract
contains a schedule of tenants of the manor of Whitford, the property
tenanted, its area etc. This nice piece of local history is in manuscript on
21 large paper sheets, all watermarked 1842. The covering (ie 22nd) sheet is
detached and is torn in two. (ref 756/241) |

[East
Budleigh] 3 Deeds to Cottages and
Gardens Though they
range in dates from 1862 to 1907 these 3 parchment deeds may be the only
property deeds drawn up in that 45 years.
The cottages are described as being near the church in Vicarage Road. Clearly some building had been constructed
during that time as the 1907 deed refers to 5 cottages. The area was formerly known as Maunders
(1862) though the cottage(s) was/were in existence in 1712. Very much the concern of the Pyne family. (ref 8/138) |

A
vellum indenture recording a deed of covenant and release pursuant to a
decree of the Court of Chancery, between George Newbery of New Road,
Hammersmith, gent, Robert Michael Baxter and Charles Baxter of Lincoln Inn
Fields, Middlesex, gents, Francis Stevens formerly of Sidmouth, Devon, now of
St John's Road, North End, Fulham, gentleman and lunatic, John Stevens of
Chardstock, Dorset, Samuel Stevens of Axminster, and John Ryle of Waltham
Green, Surgeon. Dated 6th July 1843. This large 4 page document appears to
relate to the estate of Francis Stevens a lunatic. St John's Road, North End, Fulham, was
given as his present address. At the
time there were two lunatic asylums with addresses on St John's Road: Norman House & Beaufort House. The
indenture is accompanied by an interesting letter from John Newbury to John
Stevens: "Sir I have
this day renounced my claims under your late brother Francis' will and I now
beg to offer you my congratulations, for you must be gratified by
dispossessing his friend and adopted heir of his intentions. The assumption
throughout has been that he had no right to dispose of what was his own. I
wish you every enjoyment of your righteous possession and sincerely hope that
you may have as much enjoyment in the possession as I have in the
deprivation. I am Sir, your humble servant George Newbery." Clearly
somewhat disgruntled! Handwritten in English on vellum. Some dust marking but
otherwise good condition. 70 by 75 cm. Signatures and seals. |

Fascinating
original Will of a Yeoman (George Filmore Field) in Broadlist, Devon dated
26th March 1809 together with Codicil dated 9th Nov. 1809 and Probate
attached dated 1st Nov. 1811. The Will and Codicil span 5 pages together and
the Probate with ancient seal is attached to the front of these. I purchased this some years ago whilst
holidaying in Devon as one of my ancestrial names is Field. Have had great pleasure deciphering it ever
since (used to work in the Legal business)!!
Mr Field was unable to read - write and therefore his signature is a
X. His main benefactor was his eldest
son, another was left £8 per annum and his wife just £3 per annum plus £4.00
for a suit of mourning!!!! |
