Last Will and Testament of Richard Norton of Southwick
A 1724 will document detailing Richard Norton of Southwick Southampton plan to dispose of real and personal estate to the Poor and appoint the Legislature of Great Britain as executors. He instructs funeral arrangements, legacies to servants and parish funds, and declares the Poor as his heirs with explicit archival seals and witnesses. The will, written in archaic spelling, includes provisions for burial, payments to tenants, and a contingency for executors if the supreme legislature is not convened.
