I'm transcribing a will from 1716, a brother, half brother and 12 nephews and nieces are left a shilling apiece. Was this just sticking two fingers up at his family or would they have been grateful for that sum? Everything else went to his wife & sole Executrix other than 5 shillings apiece to his dear friend Christopher Foard of Sutton and John Charman of Pulborough for "aiding & assisting" his executrix.
A shilling apiece in 1716
