I have a copy of a will dated 1739, part of which reads:
“…... also I give unto my Nephew & Niece Bartlett and Ann Son and Daughter of my Nephew Lawrance Pitman all the Goods that I took by Execution from my Nephew Lawrance Pitman to be equally divided betwixt them”
I've not come across this before: I can only think this means that Lawrance died previously, and the testator in this case was Lawrance's executor. Am I right, or does it mean something else?
