James Heaton of Great Limber left a nuncupative (or oral) will dated 11 December 1631, probated in 1631. At that date, James and his wife, Elizabeth, had no living children, but James requested that "if Elizabeth his wife shall happen to bee with Child that then the saide Childe to have out of his goods for a portion the sume of fifftie pounds." As it turns out, James Heaton's wife was in fact pregnant. Several months later, she gave birth to a posthumous son, James, baptized at Great Limber on 19 August 1632. Although born many months after his father's death, this child would have been eligible for the bequest of £50 from his late father.
