Thanks ArthurK
Riseholm is legible now you've found it .

+ Despite all posts I've only just realised I'd misspelt Tathwell so have corrected the title now

Part 4
He requests that trustees don't sell or dispose  plate or household furniture at Tathwell
So long as daughters shall be permitted to live there
There is a codicil
Written 6 Jun 1793 + another page

I've skimmed thru + found another son Harris who has been promoted in army but is very amply provided for in will of my late deceased ?  brother ?.?.

* Could be a brother in law

I’m sure that nephew Charles will be ‘of Blankney’. The Chaplins were referred to as ‘of Blankney and Tathwell’ in the 19th century.

Will look at the Will in more detail later, if it’s needed.

Thanks for information about Sir John

That must have been a headache as it was being disputed 14 years after her birth.

I will try and work out those relationships
My brother in law has a DNA match who traces
Line back to Ann Chaplin  marrying Arthur GREGORY  & having 10 children

I suppose she would have lost any inheritance in favour of any relatives living at time of her will

LLi any help gratefully received do you have access to the originals on ancestry?

I'm following several Chaplin lines after working on a different random mystery .

Transcribing is  hard work ..some of the phrases are amusing..Charles comes across as preaching but I suppose if they'd had a huge court case in past its understandable that he should sound repetitive.

His wording would allow for a child as yet unborn to inherit.

Not sure what you mean by "14 years after her birth"?

[Ili1133]

Yes, it’s hard work and lots of individuals related to one another!

Like you, I was surprised at the wording of a child unyet unborn who could inherit. His late wife Elizabeth is (I think) the mother of the children he mentions. She was the sister of Levett Blackbourne (mentioned in the section about his daughters, although there are two Mr Blackbournes discussed there). Levett’s will also includes substantial legacies to his nephew, Charles and Elizabeth’s son Francis Chaplin. It’s in the same collection of PCC wills.

His son Charles appears to have been provided for by a Mr. Wells.

I have also skimmed rather, but the estates he mentions are in the parishes of Saltfleetby, Burgh in the Marsh, Wrangle and Skirbeck. All are to be sold, but Charles Chaplin of Blankney, (Chaplin = Chaplain?) Thomas Manners Sutton of Lincolns Inn and Thomas Chaplin will receive the personal estate associated with these four real estates, once some smaller legacies are paid. The references to estates on p3 look as if they’re referring back to the estates “hereintofor directed to be sold as aforesaid”.

Is the family mentioned in Burke’s Peerage?

the court case was published 1742
i thought that was the date of its resolution

anyway it was actually 12 not 14  years after Ann was born sorry to confuse you

The volume was printed in 1742 - the contents/cases relate to earlier times. The Writ in question was issued when Elizabeth claimed to be pregnant and the would be heirs, in the absence of a child born to John/Elizabeth, wanted to ensure there was no skulduggery.
