Biography* Frances, appears on 31 May 1693, as Frances Culpeper, spinster, in answer to the bill of complaint of Bridgett Culpeper, widow, in which she says that it may be true that her brother John died seized of lands and manors in Kent and Sussex of considerable value. She does not know if he made a will as alledged. She hopes to show that the said John could not dispose of his estate by will. She will receive the legacy of £400 without prejudice to any claim she may have on the estate. She has good reason to believe that her father John, on his marriage with Frances, her mother, did settle the estate on his wife as jointure, remainder to his heirs male, remainder to his heirs female. Her mother Frances enjoyed the premises after her husband’s death. It is to be presumed that the suit terminated in favor of Bridgett, the widow, as in 1695 she sold the manor of Littlington to James Greene.
