Surnames: Jopson Pool Barwith Mayson Robinson Trotter
I've been searching for wills and other documents relating to my Jopsons in/near the Lake District in northern England.

At one time I thought the following Robert Jopson was one of my ancestors but he is not. Perhaps this information will help someone else ---

Summary of Will (written 19 Jan 1779/Probate 06 Apr 1779) left by Robert Jopson of Cragg in Claif, Parish of Hawkshead, husbandman.

To wife Elizabeth (nee Pool)-household goods and yearly interest on investments.
To sisters Mary Jopson and Jane Trotter-one guinea each
To sisters Agnes Mayson and Ann Barwick; brothers William. and Brian Jopson; James and William Pool (wife's brothers); and Isabella Robinson (dau of John Pool, wife's niece)to share equally.

Other names mentioned are: Good friends and relations Thomas Barwith of Hight in Hugil, Parish of Kirby Kendall, salecaller and James Pool of Esthwaite Hall in Parish of Hawkshead, husbandman.
