Northamptonshire & Huntingdonshire Wills

Alphabetical by surname, then listed chronologically.

There are over 200 will abstracts on this page. These were searched 1977-80, 1983-86 while living in England, and since at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. They were searched for members of the extended family of the Butterworth family, see Genealogy page, above. The Gr and Bl reference numbers refer to the page number in my handwritten abstract notebooks. The other references (i.e., 2-112, W 112, etc.) refer to the book and page number in the Peterborough & Rutland Will books. Wills that refer particularly to ancestral families can be found on the Butterworth Wills page. Some wills from the peculiar of Gretton are also included. I will search my database of all the Gretton Wills (Peculiar of Gretton and Duddington, 1657-1832). E-mail me with inquiries. See also page with early wills from the Great Gidding/Alconbury area parishes.

Note: The script, spelling and construction of all except the last paragraph (appointing the executors) suggest that the will was not written by a professional scribe (for example, there are variable spellings of the name “Goodliffe”). Buried three days later, William was clearly on his deathbed and it is likely that his wishes were dictated in an emergency to the nearest person who could write. The final paragraph was on a separate page in a different script and was apparently later added by a scribe or solicitor.

[From John Ward]

Goodliffe, Thomas, Lamley Lodge, Forest of Leighfield, Rutland, grazier. Land recently obtained through will of Daniel Curtis, late of Lyddington, Rutland, flax-dresser, [1767] in Manor of Lyddington and Caldecott, to Thomas and wife Ann, since also deceased. "The same would, according to the custom of the Manor of Lyddington with Caldecott aforesaid, descend unto my youngest son William Goodliffe as heir of both me and my said wife. But as my said sone possessed but a slender understaning and is of weak capacity, I am desirous of limiting the said premises as well as other estates in Lyddington . . . in such as way as may prevent my said son become a dupe to designing people." Therefore all land to go to son William Goodliffe, and at his decease to his children. In default of such issue the same to go to my son Thomas Goodliffe and his heirs. Appoint son Thomas and friend James Tiptaft of Braunston, Rutland, Esquire, guardians of son William, to look after him and to act for him in every respect in regard to his person and property.
