P_10433_2078 – Coulson Fellowes
Coulson Fellowes (1696-1769), MP for Huntingdonshire 1741-1761, nephew of Sir John Fellowes (q.v.) and grandson of Joseph Martin (q.v.). ‘Colson Fellows’ was shown as the co-owner of a voyage from London by the Friendship in 1736 to Africa and Jamaica. His wealth appears to have been inherited primarily from his father William Fellowes and his uncle Edward Fellowes, but his second History of Parliament entry also suggests that he invested or speculated in the public funds.

In the will of Coulson Fellowes made 30/12/1766 he left £200 immediately to his wife, £12,000 to his daughter Mary and £10,000 to his daughter Dorothea, which sums he said with what he had already given his other daughter Maria Countess of Portsmouth and what he had given and now intended to will to his son Henry Arthur should be full satisfaction of his obligations to his younger children under his marriage settlement. To his son William he left £1000. He left his real estate in Devon and Somerset and his personalty to his son Henry Arthur, and his real estate in Huntingdonshire and Cambridgeshire now under settlement to his son William for life. In a codicil of 03/11/1766 he added an annuity of £200 p.a. for his daughters given the uncertainty of the public funds, and made further monetary bequests.
