Mentions Wife Mary, Trustees John Neate of Box, John Waterford, Nephew Thomas Brown, son of brother George, brother-in-law Thomas Whale of Manton, sister Rebecca Holbrook, Amy Neate and Elizabeth Whale, nephew George Brown, brother of Thomas Brown, brother George Brown,
Thomas BROWN married Sarah (--?--) He and Mary GUNNING obtained a marriage license on 17 Jul 1770 (He of the parish of Marshfield, Glos, widower; she of the parish of North Stock, Somerset). He married Mary GUNNING circa 18 Jul 1770. He lived at Ashwick, Glos, on 21 Aug 1772 (owned land at Manton). He left a will on 9 Jan 1773 at Ashwick Farm, parish of Marshfield, Glos (yeoman). He owned a freehold farm at Manton and leased Ashwick Farm. He died on 12 Jan 1773 (yeoman). He was buried on 15 Jan 1773 at Marshfield, Glos. His estate was proved on 6 Apr 1773.
His estate was the subject of a lengthy Chancery court case. Both of his executors refused to act, as did his wife, so his brother George was granted the administration. The first case was brought against George by his brother in law John Neat, who had lent him £770, on behalf of all the legatees. Another case was brought by various debtors and legatees when George died in 1779. They claimed that George had "lessened, wasted or consumed" the estate and that they had not been paid. The case dragged on until at least 1792, becoming "abated" at least twice when people died and then "revived" again.
