Facts and Events
Probate
The estate of Bezaleel Lattimer totalled £42-17-00 in 1688, and yet, it took 44 years for administration to be concluded, when on 2 July 1723, the Report of Distribution by Daniel and Jonathan Burnham was accepted by the Court. The record illuminates the life of his family.
His widow remarried to one William Tyron. The marriage commenced soon after his decease and six months later, Saint (Lattimer) Tyron, complains to the Court that her second husband is withholding documents. In January 1698/9, the Court appoints guardians for the two children, Jonathan and Bathsheba. By January 1711/12, Saint has died and son-in-law, Josiah Atwood is appointed to complete the administration. In 1718, a distribution is ordered and son Jonathan is deceased with heirs. Saint had had a child with William Tryon, and Abial Tryon is a legatee to property, Saint had purchased after Bazaleel died.
