In the same year the testator, William Brigdale, died and his eldest son William, succeeded to the property under the will. He died in 1760 without issue, and the second son, Hugh came into possession. This Hugh died in 1803, also without issue. The property then devolved to Richard Gregg, who was the remainder man under the will. This Richard, however died in the year 1776, during the lifetime of old Hugh Brigdale.
