Will of Peter Thelusson Stirs Public Interest Across Centuries
A will of French London merchant Peter Thelusson, dated before his July 21, 1797 death, bequeathed £100,000 to wife and children and entrusted about £600,000 to accumulate for heirs, with eventual transfer to the eldest great grandson or to the sinking fund if no heir. The provision sparked wonder, legal challenges, and new laws in 1800 nullifying accumulations beyond twenty years. The last grandson died in 1856, dispute over inheritance favored the eldest son’s line, yet fortunes shrank to roughly the original £600,000 due to mismanagement and litigation.
