Godshill 6 Jan 1715 - 1716 only months before his father, William, is
buried in Godshill 17 Apr 1716. He is named in the Will of his father and
three times referred to as "Richard Prangnell my only son." He

(234)(235) He
died about 7 Dec 1775 in Godshill Parish, Isle of Wight. Though the
records in the Card Index indicate Richard Prangnell died 7 Dec 1775, the
1776 date mentioned in the letter is the date the Will was processed by
the Court.
In a letter from David Ward Prangnell to WSP dated 2nd March 2000:
"The 1776 will of Richard, yeoman of Godshill, is likely that of
William's grandson in that it refers to the two properties that Richard
may have expected to inherit through William's will of 1716. Richard's
will refers to his daughters Elizabeth, who seems to have married twice
(Cooper and Tharle) and Mary (Burrough) and to his grandson William
Cooper."

It is to be noted that no mention is made of Richard's wife, who has
probably died. Also, considering the form of his will with a highly
religious statement, it is strange there is no record of the baptism of
either of his daughters, Elizabeth or Mary.

It is not understood who Sarah Russell, wife of John Russell, is.

Another piece of data yet to be explained is the following from the Record
Office, Isle of Wight:
WOOTTON "Attested copy of deed to land to uses of a fine, with fine
endorsed. Whereas, (1)
KIRK/PREN/9 is seized of the following properties and wishes to - bar the

properties] (J) . . . Legges Dolcoppice p. Godshill in occ. of Thomas
Burroughs, "Prangnells p. Godshill in occ. of said Thomas Burroughs,
. . . (all Godshill)."

death of Mary (?) has married again. This assumption is based on whom is
the referent of "his" in the words "his wife" above.

The only information thus far discovered about William is in his Last Will

Notes on the Will:
"lore dolops" is found in the Will of Richard Prangnell as
"lower dolcops" and in the WOOTTON reference, 6 Feb. 1793 (see
notes on Richard Prangnell) as "Legges Dolcoppice."
A "coppice" according to Webster's Dictionary means either
"a thicket, grove, or growth of small trees or a forest originating
mainly from sprouts or root suckers rather than seed. We think "Legges"
in the WOOTTON document is the result of a misreading by whomever typed
the index card. All these references are to the same piece of property
which, together with "Prangnells," appear to constitute one
piece of property or two which are contiguous.

In 1743 William is at the court of Barton Manor in Whippingham Parish.
We came across this thanks to an entry made by Shirley Prangnell Creighton
from the Isle of Wight Records Office. The reference was, "1753 June
22. SEE W.C.M. Prangnell William Snr. & Jnr." Not knowing the
meaning of W.C.M., and Shirley being ill at the time, we wrote and asked
David Ward Prangnell of Newport. He wrote on 2 March 2000, "I can
help you too with your query about W.C.M. These initials stand for
Winchester College Muniments. These are records of the properties (and
associated administration) owned by Winchester College over several
centuries. There are index volumes in the Newport Record Office and the
index entry which interests you reads as follows.
"3929 1753 [1753 is clearly a typographical mistake. The actual
document reads clearly 1743 June 22.] Admission of William Prangnell to
hold to his son William at 1s 8 d. Parchment."
His letter continued, "The meaning of this is not wholly clear to me.
My best guess is that William senior was a tenant in a Winchester college
owned property in Barton IW and that he is seeking to protect son
William's interests by registering him as a subtenant - maybe? By
association of dates I assume Wiliam senior is the son of William married
to Ann Farthing and that he too had a son called William? Only the
original document would elucidate further."
In Winchester, the College produced the document on parchment for us.
[Source Winchester College Muniments Vol II, p. 172, ref 7 1743.] which
reads:

William Chestle Prangnell was buried in Brading 1 June 1766 It is noted
that he was "S. of Jane the wife of Wm. Prangnel of Little Appley,
St. Helens by a former husband" (of Jenney or Jane Chessel
Prangnell.)

Little Appley today is, "situated to the East of Ryde, on a hillside
overlooking the Solent, with commanding views across to Portsmouth. . . .
.Although a farm cottage known as "Little Appley' existed somewhere
on the present site at least as far back as 1760 (and was shown on John
Andrews' 1769 map of the Island), the present house was constructed
between 1853 and 1856." [Source: "Little Appley, the Changing
role of an Island home," by DJ Escott from an unknown publication, a
page of which was given me by Shirley Prangnell Creighton in November
2001.]
