Will of Charles Hood December 1784
Refers to the Tenement, with Barn, Stable and Yard in Low Street, New Malton, occupied by John Sewir, or Lewir and James Gray. Great Nephew was Thomas Fewui or Fewvi, eldest son of Elizabeth.
The only surname recognised in John Hood's 1814/1815 Will, summarised on this post, was HODGSON.
The Hodgson surname appears in the 1838 Selby property Deed mentioning George Hood and the parties in the 1838 Selby property Deed are listed in my reply #63.
However, there were other Kirby Misperton, Helmsley Blackmoor Wills, New Malton Hood Will and 1 Admin - not seen.
Kind regards Mark
