Note:

Like his father before him George seems to have been a Gentleman Farmer- and an absent one at that.  After the death of his father in 1746 he and his wife Ann move permanently to Newport Pagnell.  All their subsequent children are born and sometimes buried there.  And yet George still owns the property he inherited in Woughton on the Green.  This he leaves to his grandson George in his will proved 1778.  Young George is the issue of his now deceased elder son Thomas. Certainly George was affluent enough to have a least one servant.  A burial in the Newport Pagnell registers for Dec 1777 indicates the interment of one ‘Thomas Hopcraft, Mr Gilpin’s Servant’.

 

George was survived by his second wife Mary and three of his children.  His only remaining son William receives  his ‘wearing apparel’ and also £100 (worth about £7375 today) to be paid by George the grandson as a condition of his inheritance of the property in Woughton.  Sadly, William never got to enjoy his inheritance as he passed away within a month of his father.  His daughter Elizabeth, already married to Thomas Wright is remembered in his will as is his younger daughter Ann.  As Ann is still a minor a significant amount of George’s will is preoccupied with setting up a trust and guardianship for her. Mary Harris’s niece Elizabeth is generously left a morning gown.
