Will of Thomas Gowland merchant of Billiter Square made 05/02/1778. He gave £200 to his sister Mary, widow of Mr Robert Bishop, £200 at 21 to his nephew Thomas, son of his brother Edward Gowland, £200 to his niece Isabella and 5 guineas to his nephew William, and 5 guineas each to the three children of his relative Capt. George Gowland of Wapping. He gave £50 to each of his executors (who included his nephew Thomas then in Jamaica, two other men in Jamaica, his sister Mary Bishop, and John Allen, clerk to Drake & Long the West India merchants). In consideration that his children by his second wife Ann Harriott might derive advantage from their mother's relations, he left £1000 'extraordinary' to his son Thomas Gowland
