ADDITIONAL RESEARCH |
The APC incorrectly states that Grace’s dower, which it correctly describes as an annuity in lieu of dower, would have come from the estate of John Gardner. According to the committee report, however, it would have come from the estate of Thomas Gardner, Grace’s late husband. As the report phrases it, the case concerned: “an Agreement entered into, between the said John Gardner deceased, and the said Grace, for Payment of a certain Annuity to her in lieu of Dower, out of the Estate of Thomas Gardner deceased.” The relationship between John and Thomas is not stated. John was probably Thomas’s executor, perhaps his brother as well. See Additional Research on ANT_1726_03. |
