Although monies were left to various Grandchildren, the bulk of the inheritence was to go to Elizabeth NACRASOFF, Elizabeth's great grand daughter, with similar, although not quite as extensive bequests to go to her granddaughter Mary LETHBRIDGE. William WHEATON was Executor of the Will, and therefore would have been responsible for ensuing that the care and education of these children was carried out. However, when William died in 1821 (just six years after his mother) his mother's very complicated Will had not been proved.

In his Will dated the 25th April 1818 William Vittery WHEATON left the following:

She was also to receive the interest from various securities the the value of £100 for life.

- various properties were left to nephew Samuel LANGLEY and to William BROWN with some restrictions on some of the properties which were to be for the use of other relatives such as Jenney GOODRIDGE, Samuel's sister

- interest on securities were to be paid to Jenney GOODRIDGE, and on her death to her children

- £1,000 went to his sister Susanna KENNEDY's two children Elizabeth and David

- most of the estate was left to John Colwell BADDELEY. This included 5 houses in Brixham Quay. Again, there were restrictions concerning use, which included for the benefit of Elizabeth NACROSOFF, sister of John Colwell BADDELEY.

- Mary LETHBRIDGE was left £500 with interest paid yearly.

- Frederick BADDELEY was left £25 a year

- Residue of property and effects to go to John Colwell BADDELEY and Samuel LANGLEY

All property left to individuals were to be divided amongst their children when the parents died.
