File P 1/25 - Mynors of Treago family papers

Original bundle of papers relating to the Gouge family of London and their relatives, the Mynor family of Treago in the parish of St Weonards, Herefordshire, including several unproved wills of Nicholas Gouge, rector of Gilling in the North Riding of Yorkshire, 1749-1755, an unproved will of Edward Gouge of the parish of St Margaret Lothbury, London, gent., 1756, the receipt of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts for £3,000, the bequest of Rev. Nicholas Gouge, dec., 1756, a draft of the will of King Gould, 1756, a copy probate will of Sarah Gouge of Hammersmith in Middlesex, widow, proved 1759, and a valuation of Mr Mynor's plate. -- Among Nicholas Gouge's property was the manor of Dartford in Kent, and Batson's Coffee House in Cornhill, London, and an estate in South Otterington in North Yorkshire. Bequests by Nicholas and Edward Gouge include to their sister, Mrs Thomisin Mynors, their nephew Robert Mynors, esq., and their neice Mrs Thomasin Mynors the younger, all of Treago. The will of King Gould appears to be unrelated to the rest of the bundle. According to Nicholas Gouge's will dated 11 Oct. 1755, Robert Mynors of Treago was to inherit the South Otterington estate on condition that he and his heirs took the surname Gouge.
