Inferior Court for the County of Suffolk – 4 July 1732 (second action, brought about 20 June 1732)

Participants

Fairweather (Fayrweather), John (uncle and executor of Thomas Fairweather)

Fairweather (Fayrweather), Thomas (husband, later deceased, of Hannah Fairweather, and executor of Jonathan Waldo)

Willard, Joshua, Judge of the Probate of Wills

Description

Samuel Waldo seeks in the first action the books of accounts, notes, etc. of his deceased father and in the second action the deeds for real estate he claims under his father’s will.

Disposition

Judgments of 27 December 1731 and 13 December 1732 affirmed according to the APC (likely that the latter is really 13 January). Judgments of 4 July and 8 August 1732 reversed and appellant allowed to bring a new action.

Notes

Related to other Privy Council appeals:

    Waldo v Waldo – Report No.05_1734_01 (APC, v.3 [295] p.405)

    Waldo v Waldoe – Report No. 05_1734_04 (APC, v.3 [321] p.430–431)

    Waldo v Fairweather, Waldo v Waldo, and Waldo v Tyng – Report No. 05_1734_06 (APC, v.3 [325] p.450)

For clarity in dealing with multiple Waldo (Waldoe) cases, listed here are the immediate family members, without regard to whether they appear in this report: Jonathan Waldo is the deceased father of the Waldo siblings: Samuel (eldest son), Jonathan, Hannah, and Ann (Anne, Anna). Hannah is the wife of Thomas Fairweather (Fayrweather), who dies during the proceedings. Ann is the wife of Edward Tyng (Ting). Samuel and Jonathan Waldo, Ann Tyng, and Thomas Fairweather are the executors for Jonathan Waldo. Upon Thomas Fairweather’s death, Hannah, his widow, and his uncle, John Fairweather, become his executors.

Upon the death of Thomas Fairweather, the two appeals are revived against the executors, Hannah and John Fairweather, according to the APC.
