Yes, I have the full copy of his will; this above quote is in error; the
actual will states, "To grandson Lawrence HIPPEL, son of my son John, shall
have and receive ten pounds to be put out on interest until he is of age."
Notice that it doesn't say age 21; that is someone's erroneous assumption that
being of age means 21; it probably means 14, at which time he will take
confirmation. Too bad; another instance of people putting out misinformation
and everyone picks it up.
