In his father's will Richard obtained land of yearly rent 10/- inCowpe, which his grandfather had initially bought.

Will proved in 1633.

The inventory of Richard's will was dated 29 November 1632.
He made his two brothers, George and Henry, the feoffees to this willand they both signed it in perfectly legible writing.
The Court Roll inquisition stated that his heir, George (6W2), wasabout 14.
The will arranged for the feoffees to manage the estate and the landwas not to pass to George, his heir, until £10 each had been paid toRichard's children, Margaret, Agnes, John and Elizabeth, onMidsummer's Day on successive years 1646, 7, 8 and 9.
There is reason to believe that their uncle, Henry Ormerod, went tolive in Cowpe during this period to manage the estate, for he isdescribed as 'of Cowpe' in the Court Rolls at this time.
