Will of Andrew Coulter Bradford This also includes a case brought
by Barbara Donaldson after the fact. This
is a most interesting case. Barbara Donaldson was the sister of
Andrew Coulter Bradford, both of them children of Thomas Bradford & Elizabeth
Breakey. Not all the Trustees appointed to deal with A.C. Bradford’s
will had wanted to follow through with their duties and the upshot
was that J.B. Gillmer was left holding the bag. He then decided
on his own to let Bradford’s niece Mary Jane Oliver and sister
Margaret Bradford continue to live on the property rather than
selling everything off. This meant that those who had inherited
annuities (hence Barbara Donaldson) were getting short shrift.
The advantage also went to his niece Sally McCullogh wife of Thomas
McCullogh of Dunraymond since she still received the bequeathed
interest on a bond of £1,100 owed by her husband even though
the annuities bequeathed to others were being left unpaid. It was
even more galling that the value of the assets were quite probably
diminishing due to mismanagement. |
