Annuitant

Annuitant for £1000 p.a., no part of which she had received, she said when made her will in 1831, when she forgave the first two payments. Her executors claimed for £20,111 in arrears, implying her annuity had begun c. 1809, which fits with the statement in her will that her right to an annuity arose from the marriage settlement of her daughter Maria Frances Pallmer, who had married Charles Nicholas Pallmer in 1808.
