Will of John Bindley, headed No. 8 Rathbone Place. He left all his property in trust to pay his debts, asking that William Currie of Poplar and the Duke of Portland not demand the £100 each had advanced to him, as he thought by way of gift. He left his residuary estate to his son John Bindley, his natural daughter Elizabeth Smith and his friend Mrs Theed. According to a codicil of January 1786 when he was of 22 Great Marylebone Street, his wife had eft property to their daughter, Elizabeth North. His executor was his brother James.
