Yesterday I received from the Gloucestershire Records Office the Will of my x Grandfather Henry STEPHENS of Lydney - who died in 1794 (amongst other things, leaving the bed he lies on, to his Son Henry, then Henry's wife Sarah, and then onto Elizabeth is Granddaughter (after the demise of each one). Also his Son Henry - 1800, both Yoeman Farmers/with bits of land/a few houses in and around Lydney.

In Henry STEPHENS will dated 1800 - he is leaving his Wife Sarah, ......all my Bond and other securities and Book debts due to me, likewise one Mare, all my Sheep, my Implements in Husbandry, Guns, Household Furniture, Sin Hhogsheads painted blue and all such and singular my person estate of whatsoever......
