D) Will of Sir George Blundell (X520/166)]
(George Blundell covenants to settle on his future wife freehold estate in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire to yearly value of £80, for dower; and it was agreed that the said £700 should be paid to Sarah Blundell (as residue of £1,500 due to her from the Trustees of 30 year term under Will of Sir George Blundell), and that she should assign her interest in the said term to William Naylor, with a proviso that if the said George Blundell should pay within a year £735 to Richard Naylor junior and Charles Naylor, in trust in case George Blundell and his intended wife should apply the said £700 (portion) to their own benefit, the said Assignment shall be void, and out of the said money so secured shall be paid to said William Naylor a sum equal to the residue of the estate of Sarah Daintrie. And if George Blundell make such a settlement the £700 is to be paid to him, but if not, or if he should die before such time of marriage, the £700 is to be paid to her (Sarah Naylor), and after the said marriage, if Sarah Naylor should survive George Blundell and refuse to release her dower, the £700 to be paid to the heir at law of George Blundell)
