I'm intrigued to discover what my 4x Gt Grandfather did which caused his father to write his will in this manner - his father died in 1762 when 4x Gt Gf was 30 and unmarried. Also in 1776 (4xGt Gf married in 1770) he and his only son were also completely excluded from his eldest sister's will when she spread her largesse to all her living brothers & sisters and all her other nephews and nieces. She also left £500 for her eldest brother's "natural son" for his education and an apprenticeship. His father's will provided his brothers and sisters with stocks, shares and income bonds to the tune of £500 each but the exhortation with regards to Francis was that “he is to receive £30 per annum to be paid quarterly in the King’s currency into his hand and no others by his elder brother”. Quite what he had been up to I haven’t been able to discover but it all suggests it was something quite extreme and I hoping that perhaps others have suggestions as to where I could look. He is pesky Pigott.
Suggestions where to look for the misdemeanour(s) of a Georgian man
