Age at Death | 81 years, 5 months |
Narrative
Named in the wills of his father and brother. Adm. "de bonis non" of his brother Thomas 1747. Suceeded to the Ilfracombe Estates on his father's death in 1745. His will dated Feb. 20, 1789. He was educated at Brideford Grammar School. He was a Solicitor from Bideford.
"Charles Cutcliffe, the eldest son of Charles Cutcliffe and Avice Nash, born at Bideford in 1710. He was educated at the Bideford Grammer School, then under the direction of the Rev. Zachariah Mudge, of whom he appears to have been a favorite pupil. Some letter to him from his quondam master are in my possission. They are dated 1729, and refer to the journey, or rather voyage to London, of Mr. Mudge's second son Thomas, who went there to be apprenticed to Graham, the watchmaker, in Fleet Street, "as his genius has ever led him to something in the "mechanical way", and commends Thomas to the good offices on young Cutcliffe, who seems to have responded very cordially to his old preceptor's appeal in favour of his son; for in a subsequent letter Mr, Mudge writes to Charles Cutcliffe thanking him for his reply, "which was very kind and obliging, but not beyond what I expected from you, "because I ever saw that in you which would equal any expectation." Mr. Cutcliffe was, as we have seen, educated for the legal profession, which, however, he does not appear to have followed subsequently to his father's death. He succeeded to the estates in Ilfracombe, and to the Barton of Weach, in West Leigh, where he resided, following the pursuits of a country gentleman. He was in the Commission of the Peace for the county of Devon, and in 1745 married Elizabeth, daughter of Humphrey Dene, of Horwood. He died at the advanced age of 82, and was buried at Westleigh, 15th June 1791, where also his wife who survived him until 1804, was buried. By his will dated 20th February, 1789, after giving pecuniary legacies to his sons John, William, Robert, Thomas, George and James, and to his daughters Elizabeth, Ann, Rebecca and Avice, (then the wife of the Rev. William Spurway), and to his niece Roberta, daughter of his late brother William Cutcliffe, and to his (testator's) wife Elizabeth. He devised to his son Charles Newell Cutcliffe his estates in the parishes of Westleigh and Allscott, otherwise Alverdiscott, (including the Barton of Webbery, in the last-mentioned parish, which had been then lately devised to him by Harry Lupincott, 30 Esquire)."
