He was buried BET. 6 JAN 1715 - 1716 in Godshill Parish, Isle of Wight.(229) (230)(5) Richard is buried in 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 and Mary, his wife, have three children- William, Richard, and Mary.

bullet Richard Prangnell was born before 9 Jul 1695 in Godshill Parish, Isle of Wight. He was baptized on 9 Jul 1695 in Godshill Parish, Isle of Wight. (231)(232) He signed a will on 31 Dec 1769 in Godshill Parish, Isle of Wight. He was buried on 7 Dec 1775 in Godshill Parish, Isle of Wight.(233) (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."

Will 1776-A/111 (Winchester R.O.)

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 dower of Ann his wife
6 Feb 1793 in the same and agreed to give her instead a rent charge of 100 pounds a year for
her life. therefore agrees to surrender his property to the uses of a fine viz. (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), (H), (I) [all state specific properties] (J) . . . Legges Dolcoppice p. Godshill in occ. of Thomas Burroughs, "Prangnells p. Godshill in occ. of said Thomas Burroughs, . . . (all Godshill)."

Thomas Burroughs, who was mentioned in Richard's Will above, after the death of Mary (?) has married again. This assumption is based on whom is the referent of "his" in the words "his wife" above.
Parents: Richard Prangnell and Mary.

Children were: Elizabeth Prangnell, Mary Prangnell.

Letter from David Ward Pragnell to WSP dated 2nd March 2000, page 2 of attachment states:

"Sephen (Born 1776) was serving in the Isle of Wight Militia at the time of his marriage to Sarah in 1807. There were nine children of the marriage and in 1834 the following entry was made in 'List of Paupers':
NAME: STEPHEN PRANGELL of Arreton

Two other children, by 1851, were married with families of their own."

[N.B. see John Prangnell and Frances Prangnell who married Eli Kingswell.]

"By 1861, Stephen had become a Widower, Sarh having died in 1860 and was buried at Barton. Steven survived for a further two years after Sarah' death and lived with his married son Henry (Born 1830 - Arreton) at Barton Village. Stephen, upon his death in 1863 was also buried at Barton.)

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

"In the name of God AMEN the ffouth day of March in the year of our Lord God 1716 I William Pran(g)nell of The parrish of Godshill in the Isle of Wight and County of Southton yeoman being in good helth (sic) but weak in body and in perfect Mind and memory thanks be given unto God therefore calling to mind the mortallity of my Body and knoing that it is Appointed for all Men once to dye doo make an ordaine this My last will and Testament That is to say principally and first of all I give and recommend my Soul into the hands of God that gave it and for my Body I commend it to the Earth to be Buried in a Christian Like and decent manner at the Discretion of my Executrix nothng doubting but at the generall Resurrection I shall know the Same again by the mighty power of allmighty God and as for ?outhing such worldley Estate wherewith it hath pleased God to bless me withall in this Life I give devise and dispose of the same in the following manner and form- - - -

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:

{lst side}
Barton in the A court of the manor there held the twenty second day of June in The seventeenth Isle of Wight Year of the Reign of our Sovereign Lord George the Second King of Great Britain and in the Year of our Lord One Thousand Seven Hundred Forty Three. To this Court came William Prangnell and took of the Lord the Revertion or Remainder of half an

A small book, "The Place Names of the Isle of Wight" by A.D. Mills (Stamford: Paul Watkins, 1996) describes "Hale Manor Farm, Hale Common:"
Hale Manor Farm, Hale Common (1 1/2 miles south-east of Arreton). Atehalle 1086 (Domesday Book), la Hale c. 1200, Hale 1255, la Haule 167, Hale (Farm) 1769. `(Place at) the nook or corner of land', from Old English h(e)alh (dative case h(e)ale). In the Domesday Book spelling, Ate- represents `at the'. The manor house here is Jacobean. In the 13th century the manor was divided into Northale (now Hale Manor Farm) and Southale, this latter being further subdivided in the 14th century into Waightshale (so-called from its possession by the Wayte family in the 15th and 16th centuries) and Lambslease."

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."
