NOTE. I have assumed that the Robert Bennett here is Ann's father, though she did have a brother named Robert too, who would have been about twenty-four when this document was signed. It felt more likely that her father would be in a position to co-sign than her brother. I could be wrong about that though, especially as Elizabeth Bennett is probably Ann's sister. I doubt if any of them had the means to cough up the £600 fine (routinely calculated at twice the estimated value of the estate) in case of a bungled Administration, which is probably why four days later Ann cedes Administration rights to Winchester Solicitors Knott and Serle.
