CommentsBetty Harden
published by - 9 years 2 months 4 days ago. | | | Thank you Denis I have now received the transcript of the will of Betty Harden. It is very kind of you to be so generous as to share the information with me. It will take me some time to work my way through this but it is certainly my family as Robert was also the name of my 2 x Gt Grandfather and all the other Hardens mentioned appear on my family tree as does Elizabeth Whiting, (my grandmother was a Harden). If I can come up with any further information gleaned from the will & linking Betty into my tree I will let you know. She certainly seems to be the missing link. Many thanks again

published by - 9 years 2 months 4 days ago. | | thankyou Dennis, it's very good of you. Otherwise perhaps I can let you have my address & you could copy & send to me. I will reimburse you for any costs , failing that I suppose Somerset records might send me copies if I apply?
Thank you for your time, I do appreciate it & if you needed anything from Essex records I would be happy to try & oblige.

published by - 9 years 2 months 4 days ago. | | | Hello Linda,
I've tried to upload the Transcript of Betty Chappell's will, also a Summary of the Assets contained in the will, but the system doesn't like Word files. I can't change it to a Jpeg file, so I'll try again, scanning prints of the documents, but it may be a day or so. Hope it'll be worthwhile.
Dennis.

published by - 9 years 2 months 5 days ago. | | Thanks for that information Dennis. I will have to spend some more time trying to sort this out! Unfortunately I can't get to the meetings as I live in Essex, although I would love to see the will transcripts.
I will let you know if/when I make the connection to Betty as it is obviously a gap in my tree!

Harden nephews
published by - 9 years 2 months 5 days ago. | | | Sorry, probably can't link any further, but Betty Chappell (nee Harden,) by her will describes Robert, John, Edward, Jesse and Charles as her nephews, but also beneficiaries Charles, Edward and Martha "the 3 children of my late nephew George Harden dec'd" to receive £30 each when they reach the age of 21. There are also various other non-Harden or non-Chappell beneficiaries.
Betty Chappell: born Betty Harden c.1737 @ Weare.
married John Gadd, Farmer, 19/1/1765 @ Loxton
(widowed) married William Chappell 20/6/1770 @ Weare
Will of Betty Chappell 8/5/1824.
Betty Chappell died 26/3/1825 aged 87.
buried 1/4/1825 @ Badgworth.
I'm hoping to get to wsmfhs monthly meetings. Will it help if I bring transcripts of the 3 Chappell wills held in Somerset Record Office, together with a summary of the lands and other assets detailed in Betty Chappell's will?

Thomas Carter
published by - 9 years 2 months 6 days ago. | | | Dear Mr de Dulin,
I would just like to thank you for you help in finding the information
you kindly provided re Thomas Carter and as you may see I have had some
direct contact with Pat Hase on this matter also.
She asked me what my connection to him is and I replied also direct to her explaining the reasons for my interest.
Perhaps she can provide you with my text directly, as opposed to having it posted on this forum for your interest also!
Many thanks again and please do not hesitate to get in touch should you wish to extend this thread.
Best,
Rob | |
