The will made in 1754 opens with a long recitation of his marriage settlement with Anne Mansel[l] nee Shovell, and his entitlement to lands in Kent at Crayford, Bexley and elsewhere in what is now in south-east London, which he entailed to his son Shovell Blackwood, subject to a payment of £8000 to Shovell Blackwood's brother John. In a codicil of 1771 that shows him as late of Charlton but then of Soho Square he recorded the death of John Cathcart and replaced his other two original executors Henry Douglas and Sir George Colebrooke with his younger son John Blackwood. In further codicils of 1772 and 1777 he made his two sons executors and residuary legatees, and increased annuities left to his servants.
