| Notes |
- of How Hatch, South Weal
Died aged 82.
Ladies Magazine says 8th Aug 1792; 11th Aug is a s recorded in the court case.
Has made a new will on his deathbed, which was subsequently contested in the case Willan Vs Willan
He left land to his nephew, William. However, it should be noted that he is, in Willan Vs Wilan, referred to as a great-nephew.
'extremely successful self-made man, operator in a big way of coach and carriage services out of Bull and Mouth Street, London to all parts of England.'
Mr. John Willan — a very capital
performer, and very often at work on the road, as also
on several of our swell drags, in the high London season.
Mr. Willan is a very powerful man, and though young in
years is full of experience, and can put four horses to-
gether as well as any man going. Mr. Willan, in short,
is good at everything : he is good over a country ; good
at cricket ; good over the mahogany ; and, to sum up
the whole — a good fellow altogether.
There may be some confusion with John Willan, b bef 1745--1822
