Reference questions about the transfer of the advowson of Bucknell
from Jerome Weston to his aunt, Alice (Weston) Ball. There are
presedences for such transfers to other than eldest sons. In his
will, Robert Weston bequeathed advowsons, prebends, and leases to his
sister, Alice (Weston) Ball, his brother, James, his daughter, Audrie,
and his son, John. At the same time, he gave his daughter, Alice,
only money, arias hangings, and his great gilt cup—no advowson,
prebend, or lease. We see the same practice of giving advowsons,
prebends, and leases to people other than an eldest son in the will of
Richard Weston. So, I don’t see why it would be surprising that
Jerome gave the advowson of Bucknell to his aunt, especially since the
records indicate that he did.
