Description: | Recites the series of settlements and recoveries by which he will become tenant for life only, with remainder to his eldest son, of the Grimsthorpe and Eresby estates and is charged with the payment of a portion of £10,000 to his half-sister, Arabella, Countess Rivers, of which £4000 remains unpaid.
No provision is made in these documents for his daughters or younger son and the £6000 was paid to Lady Rivers when he was a minor and not accountable.
Asks that Lady Rivers' trustees may account for their term of interest in the estates and that his father Robert Earl of Lindsey, should be held accountable for the timber cut down at Grimsthorpe to pay the £6000. | Subjects: | Country Estates | Temporal: | 6 May 1696 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
