She mentioned an indenture dated 18 December [1657] between her and four persons whereby she demised to them certain diverse lands and hereditaments in Doddington Pigot to be held for the term of ten years upon her decease. She bequeathed £800 to be paid within four years to daughter Mary Bolles (or if deceased, to be equally divided amongst her children), £150 to granddaughter Elizabeth Bolles after attaining the age of thirteen (or if deceased, to be equally divided amongst her brothers and sisters), £100 to grandson Sir Thomas Williamson and £50 apiece to his brothers Robert and John to be paid within two years, and £100 to be paid within twelve months to granddaughter Jane Hussey. Elizabeth also mentioned a lease of certain lands in Caythorpe from son Edward Hussey for security of £1250 which was to be paid 26 March 1660, for which she instructed that when it became due, grandchildren Mary Hussey and William Hussey (Mary's brother) should be paid £600 and £150 respectively. Mary Hussey was also to be given £30 annually to pay a portion of the £60 due in rent. She bequeathed to daughter Bridgett Hussey the furniture of her bedchamber, the great glass in the best parlor, a silver powder box, the bracelet originally given by Bridgett, and Elizabeth's wedding ring. She bequeathed to daughter Anne Hussey and son Edward Hussey the furniture of each of their bedchambers. She also bequeathed for the purpose of buying rings £5 apiece to Lady Fairefax and daughter-in-law Elizabeth Hussey and £10 apiece to granddaughter Amwates[?] and sons Bolles, Markham, and Charles Hussey. She bequeathed the linens to grandson Sir Thomas Hussey and daughters Bridgett and Anne and her clothing to granddaughter Mary Hussey and Elizabeth's chambermaid and other maid servants. For a remembrance, she bequeathed a 20 shilling piece of gold each for sister Knight and sister Dye and a gold angel for each grandchild not otherwise receiving a legacy. She also made bequeaths to a number of other people, including the poor of Lincoln, Honington, Doddington, Grantham, Whisby, Skellingthorpe, and Harby. Her grandson Sir Thomas Hussey was appointed sole executor. The will was proved by oath of the executor on 22 May 1658 in London. References
