Notes by Rachel Kent
Peter asked the trustees to invest all monies for and towards the better support maintenance and bringing up of all and every my children until the sons had attained the age of 25 years and the daughters had attained 25 years or be married. They must then assign transfer and convey the whole of his estate and effects with the interest dividends and proceeds thereof unto and amongst his children to be equally divided between them as tenants in common.No mention was made of his wife Mary so possibly she had died – hence making William Dugdale and James Kent the guardians.
