I haven't been able to find a will for Mary, nor for Samuel's alleged floozie Elizabeth Cannon. : )Pruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03545993243891419887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3125108883043889739.post-44484000539641985182012-07-08T08:59:55.755+10:002012-07-08T08:59:55.755+10:00hi Prue, I've nominated you for the Illuminati...hi Prue, I've nominated you for the Illuminating Blogger Award -you can read more on my post http://cassmob.wordpress.com/2012/07/08/illuminating-blogger-award/.

More than worth the 10.50 you paid for them, and much cheaper than an airfare. Maybe Mary's father knew of Samuel's peccadilloes and didn't want to entrust any money to him. Also women didn't own property in their own right- it belonged to their husband -unless it was very specifically stated and perhaps this is why Mary's father excluded her husband getting any money. Have you looked for a will for Mary? <br />Do you have access to the Findmypast UK site? There are some references to Samuel Joynes and money/stock he held with the Bank of England. Great story. Happy hunting with the new mysteries-do keep us posted.Cassmob (Pauleen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18397134336319778519noreply@blogger.com
