He named his brother John, Innkeeper, of West Auckland, and George COATES the younger, Gentleman, of Smelt House as his Executors and Trustees. He left "Messuages Lands Tenements Hereditaments and premises" at Dyke House, Grunton, Yorkshire (North Riding) to be sold by his trustees and the proceeds invested for the support of his wife and her assigns. After her decease the money was to be put "towards the maintenance and education and support and bringing up all and every of my Child or Children" until they reached the age of 21 - as the children were not named this suggests that he had an illegitimate childchildren. He also owned property at Darlington which was to be mortgaged if there were insufficient proceeds from the sale of his other property etc. to pay off his debts. He left his plate, linen and household furniture to his wife, and the remainder of his personal estate to his Executors
