Legal document involving Thomas Dutton, Charles Poulton, Henry Coleman, Thomas Coleman, John Bridges & Walter Brind of May 31, 1781.

The document is mysteriously similar to the next document which begins Assigned by the said Henry Coleman.....

The cast: Ann Archer (heir and only daughter of Ann Fletcher),
William Archer, deceased, probably was an administrator of the will of Dame Erule.
John Bridges (of the Strand, wine merchant),
Ann Brind (wife of Walter),
Henry Brind (goldsmith of London),
Francis Bristow,
Eleanor Carter,
Mary Carter (cloth maker of Cricklade),
Thomas Carter, one of the administrators of Dame Erule's will.
also gunsmith Richard Champer....,
Henry Coleman,
Thomas Coleman (a surgeon from Cirencester, brother of Henry),
Joseph Dutton (a salesman of Bray),
Dame Margaret Erule,(deceased)
John Eycott (goldsmith of Cirencester),
Doctor Hodges,
Oliffe Richmond and
William Turner.

The package of documents seems to concern the sale (or lease for 500 years) of land in Water Furlong, Cricklade St Sampsons for £570. The seller is Walter Brind and the purchaser Thomas Dutton, in trust for Charles Poulton. Several other transactions are mentioned. Henry Brind deceased, who married Margaret Carter, has paid £543 13s 6d. Ann Archer, has sold something to Joseph Jones for £358 15s. A sum of £511 5s is also mentioned. To my untutored eye this looks like the detailing of the purchase history of the land because a mortgage from 1743 has been lost. Walter Brind indemnifies Charles Poulton against any losses arising from legal action about the title of the land.David Brind
