The Deed is a Marriage Settlement whereby William BOLTON makes over £400/-/- to the trustees Abraham BOLTON and James COWLEY with a bond of £800/-/- to secure the £400/-/-. Benjamin WRIGHT makes over his stock in trade, present and future to the trustees subject to the trust with power given to the trustees to sell the stock in trade on his death or "should his circumstances fail" to provide the £400/-/- to Julia BOLTON for her support and maintenance and on her death between her children, equally, and if no children to dispose of as she wished. In the event of Benjamin WRIGHT's death or changed circumstances the trustees were to pay the £400/-/- to Julia BOLTON. Benjamin WRIGHT died in or before 1805. Julia then married Edward TURVEY, by licence, in 1805. From her dealings with Ballinahorney, (see Volume 572 Page 403 Number 390210), it is assumed that she had an inheritance, consisting of part of Ballinahorney, over and above this marriage settlement from her father.
