- p. 16 & 17 -- Anthony Collings traveled back to Devon, England and on 4/20/1716 presented a bill in Chancery court to claim benefit from the estate of his grandfather Thomas Collings late of Baronshill, in parish of Ugborough, Devon who died in 1672 leaving an only son Roger Collings who is the palintiff's father. The plaintiff's grandmother Dorothy Collings succeeded to Baronshill and held it until her death four or five years ago. Roger Collings died 7 or 8 years ago and, as his only son, the plaintiff became entitled to his grandfather's estate, but James Tillie of Pentillie Castle, Esq., Winifred Spurrell, widow, plaintiff's sister, and Henry Davis of Gravesend, Kent, mariner, who married Elizaberh Collings now deceased, also plaintiff's sister, conspire with George Stroude, Esq., of Ditcham, Devon, and Alice Stroude of the same, widow, to deny the plaintiff his rights. They claim that, by a settlement made in 1672 on the marriage of the plaintiff's father to Anne Roch, now deceased, Thomas Collings conveyed Baronshill to Richard Fownes, Esq., of Whitehouse, Ugborough, and William Stroude, gent., of Higherwal, Ugborough. Both Fownes and Stroude had died but the latter's heir is his nephew George Stroude and his executrix Alice Stroud.
- In her answer Winifred Spurrell says she is the only sister now living of the plaintiff. Her grandfather Thomas Collings, anticipating a marriage between his son Roger and Anne, daughter of Jerom Roch the elder of Plymouth, Devon, by deed of 2/10/1672, assigned Baronshill to Fownes and Stroude in order to provide portions for his son and his son'sheirs. When the defendant's sister Davis entered upon Baronshill the premises were in ruinous condition and her sister had to spend much money on it. The defendant claims that she and her sister Elizabeth who died 6 years ago were the only lawful issue of Roger Collings at the time of his death.
- Henry Davis reported to the court that Anthony Collings went overseas more than 25 years ago and was supposed dead. Two seafaring men on the ship maintained that they had thrown the body overboard. He could not say if the plaintiff was the same Anthony Collings -- THUS HE LOST HIS INHERITANCE TO BARONSHILL.
