| Description | Joseph Knibb, citizen and clockmaker of London, in his will of 23 Aug 1697, bequeath all his lands in the parish of Hanslopp, Bucks, and in Farnborough to his son Thomas Knibb for his life, and then to his other sons and their heirs in succession. If this line failed, then his properties were to pass to the daughters of Thomas Knibb and their heirs; if this line failed then they passed to Joseph Knibb's brother, John Knibb, then to John Knibb's eldest son, who would pay, within two years after the decease of John Knibb, £200 out of the properties inherited to the other sons. Thomas Knibb died without issue, John Knibb also since died, which leaves John Knibb of the City of Oxford, upholsterer, his eldest son and heir, and George Knibb of the University of Oxford, clerk, and Joseph Knibb, his younger children. John Knibb therefore pays £200 apiece to George Knibb and Joseph Knibb. The money was paid out of the sum of £700 paid to John Knibb (the son) by William Townsend of the City of Oxford, free mason, by an indenture of mortgage of even date [not extant], between John Knibb, Deborah his wife, and William Townsend.
Consideration: £200 each
