Under the will of Josiah Boydell made 07/11/1791, he left annuities of £80 p.a. to his daughter Frances, £50 p.a. each to to his son John and his daughters Jane, Sophia and Charlotte. He left 5 shillings to his son Josiah on the basis he had already provided considerable sum of money for his advancement in life, but also left him £20 p.a. so long as he continued as executor. He also left 5 shillings to his daughter Maria, Mrs Philpot, on whom he had made a settlement on her marriage and subsequently incurred further expense because of the conduct of her husband. He left his real estate and residuary personalty in trust (his trustees were his sons Josiah and John and his brother James) to pay the income to his wife for her life and then to his children. In a codicil he recorded the marriage of his daughter Frances, and left his daughter Philpots an annuity of £20 p.a. In a second codicil he recorded the death of his dauhghterEvans, and commuted the annuity of £50 p.a. to his allegedly incapable son John to an allowance for him from his executors.
