Peter Earle
....
A frequent theme in wills is the mention of duty and obedience that the children either have not observed towards their father or should observe towards their mother in the future. Three fathers in our sample disinherited their eldest son and all mentioned disobedience, unfaithfulness and lack of duty as a reason for this, Daniel Darnelly, for instance, being described as 'a very undutifull and disobedient sonne unto mee and his mother'.
51. Disinherited—S. 12 (PROB 11/324 fo. 91), Richard Darnelly; S.116 continue
The collection of postmortem debts was never an easy task and several testators made arrangements to assist the widow in this respect, such as Richard Darnelly, who appointed Mr Reynolds, a merchant, as debt-collector at £10 a quarter, 'hee being a fitt man to that purpose',
Attempts were also made to control the children through threats or promises in a will. In three cases, as has been mentioned earlier, this went as far as disinheriting the eldest son, a very sad breakdown in family relations, as can be seen from the words of Richard Darnelly whose son Daniel 'doth still continue his exorbitant and evil courses and wicked company . . . with griefe of heart I speake it and I beseech the Lord to forgive him'.
34. S. 191 (Dubois); S.289 (Mackley); cf. S.12, Richard Darnelly, who willed that 'four ministers of God's word' should be at his funeral.
note:
Peter Earle implies that Richard Darnelly disinherited his eldest son. This is not so. Richard shared his estate according to “the Laudable Custome of the City of London” and his will clearly stated that a one third share was to be divided between all his children including Daniel. Daniel was then deliberately omitted from any part of the discretionary third share. - Janet Davies.
