Thomas and John Boles Landholdings inWilliam Penn's EstateSource: "The Papers of William Penn", Volume Three 1685 to 1700 page 761-763Indenture of Release Source: Penn-Gaskell-Skillern Papers, HSP. (Not filmed.) Date: 4 May 1703. Parties: (1) William Penn, Jr., and Mary Jones Penn; (2) WP and Hannah Penn; (3) William Aubrey and Laetitia Penn Aubrey; (4) Herbert Springett; (5) Nathaniel Wade, esq., and Charles Harford the younger, mercer, both of Bristol; and Michael Jones and Samuel Vaus, London merchants; (6) Daniel Phillips, doctor, and Anthony Neate, haberdasher, both of London, and Margaret Lowther, widow of Anthony Lowther. Summary: I. William Penn, Jr., unhappy over his marriage settlement (see doc. 209A) agrees with Hannah Penn, who has lands in Ibaune and Barryroe, co. Cork, to accept her lands in return for an equivalent amount of land from him. II. Thus William Penn, Jr., for 5s from WP, and in order to settle jointures on Hannah Penn and Mary Jones Penn, grants to WP lands he has leased to him on 3 May 1703 (not found), in or near barony of Imokilly, co. Cork, Munster, Ire., as follows: Shannagarry, Kilmaghen, Killkeagh, Ballynamony, Ballygannybegg, Ballingogannigg, Ballingarrane, Ballylongan, Ballingarrane, Ruskemore, Ruskaghbegg, Ballylinnanee, and Ballymallobegg (Robert Foulke, tenant); Barries quarter, Ballelowrace, and Ballyroe (Samuel Rowle, tenant); Killgillhen, Knocknegeiragh, and Knocknegappule (Francis Smith, tenant); Inch, Doonepower, and Ballynatra (John Bowles, tenant, deceased); Lisshally, Ballinicoll, Ballyshane, Mucky, and Tullyplenebegg (Thomas Wallis, tenant); Lisally (Thomas Bent, tenant); Kilbrie, Sheanless, Carrigtoghir, Teadbegg, Ballyvillin, and Ballinevohir (John Bowles, tenant, deceased); Ballyronahane, Ballybraher, Coolenodigg, Garrigkilter, and Rathcully (Barry Frankland, tenant); Ballyhonick, and Ballyline (Katherine Dawkins, tenant); Garrymoore (John Bredsford, tenant); Old Meupre [Clonemane?] (Robert Fitzgerald, tenant); Kilderrig (James French, tenant); Curroghticloghy, Ballycarrowny, Condon's acres, and Acredoan (William Wakeham, tenant); Fenore and Knocknagihy (William Wakeham, tenant); Ballyvillin and Seskens Fowrie (William Wakeham, tenant); and lands in tenure of William Penn, Jr., or where he or any other persons in trust for him have any estate within Imokilly, along with houses, stables, mines, quarries, etc. III. All the lands mentioned of John Bowles, Thomas Wallis, Barry Frankland, Catherine Dawkins, and James French are to be conveyed to Wade, Harford, Jones, and Vaus in trust for WP and after his death to Hannah Penn. IV. All the lands of Francis Smith and John Bresford, along with some of William Wakeman's lands (Curroghticloghy, Ballycarrowny, Condon's acres, and Acredoan) are to be conveyed to Wade, Harford, Jones, and Vaus in trust for William Penn, Jr., and after his death to Mary Penn, which lands are for her jointure, along with certain lands in Sussex limited to her life by a seven-part indenture of 4 May 1703 (not found) between (1) William Penn, Jr., and Mary Penn; (2) WP and Hannah Penn; (3) William and Laetitia Aubrey; (4) John Page; (5) Nathaniel Wade, Charles Harford, Michael Jones, and Samuel Vaus; (6) Daniel Wharley, Samuel Waldenfield, and Henry Gouldney; (7) Daniel Phillips, Anthony Neate, and Sir Robert Fagg, bart., for the jointure of Mary Jones Penn. V. The remainder of the above-listed lands are conveyed to Wade, Harford, Jones, and Vaus in trust for WP and after his death for William Penn, Jr., and after his death to Hannah Penn, and after her death to Mary Jones Penn, and after her death to the male heirs of her marriage to William Penn, Jr. If they have no male heirs, then the lands will revert to the use of WP's male heirs. VI. The lands limited as jointure to Mary Jones Penn are to go after the deaths of her and William Penn, Jr., to their female heirs; if none, then to the heirs of William Penn, Jr. VII. There are also provisoes for raising money from lands in Ibaune and Barryroe for the children of William Penn, Jr. VIII. If Hannah Penn survives WP, the lands given her in jointure should not exceed yearly value of £300. If they do, the overplus is to go to the person or persons who have the right to the remainder of her lands at her death. IX. The quitrents owed to the crown on the jointures of Mary and Hannah are to come from other lands. X. William Penn, Jr., after Mary Jones Penn's death, can provide lands to the yearly value of £300 in trust to any future wife, out of lands given to Hannah Penn for her jointure. XI. WP has paid William Aubrey £2000 as a marriage portion for Laetitia. (Actually WP has merely agreed that Laetitia's Pennsylvania lands be sold and he would make up the difference if the sale price did not reach £2000; see doc. 209B). This effectively replaces the proviso in doc. 209A whereby Herbert Springett, Ambrose Galloway, and Joseph Pike were to raise £3000 for Laetitia Penn as trustees for certain Irish lands. This indenture therefore witnesses that the Aubreys release Springett, Galloway, and Pike from having to raise the £3000. Witnesses: Richard Jones, Peter Rice, John Page.
