Notes

Francis had a large county practice and the business was still being conducted in St Columb Major in 1881 under the name of Paynter & Whitford.

"Bennets of Tresillian" by R. G. Kerswell:
There was a long-running dispute in the 1810s & 1820s between the two brothers of the Bennet family and their Receiver's Accounts ie of Francis Paynter, and following his death, of his son Francis Camborne Paynter, made more complicated by the fact that F.C. married one of their sister’s, Elizabeth. Bennet. Neither of the Paynters and their firm are thought of in a very good light.
Elizabeth and Francis brought up her two young nephews, Richard and John Bennet when their mother Loveday died in 1821.

Will of father Francis Paynter, 9 July 1819.
Francis’ will requests that he be buried “as near as conveniently may be to the remains of my late beloved wife.” Margaret had died only the year before. He asked that his funeral “be private and conducted with as little expense as common decency will admit of.”
Francis states that he has already made liberal provision for his son Francis Camborne Paynter, with which “he has declared himself fully satisfied.” He was to be given a further sum of twenty guineas as a mark of his father’s “affection and regard.” Also to his wife Elizabeth, five guineas, and two guineas for his grandson Edward* “to be laid out in some article of remembrance.”
Francis states that he has spent two thousand pounds on his son Charles Henry Paynter, plus an annual sum of two hundred and fifty pounds for his personal expenses. Francis says that “I cannot consistently with the justice and duty which I owe to my other children, increase his fortune to a further extent.” However, Charles is to be given two hundred pounds by his executor within six months of his decease, but without interest. His wife Fanny is to be given “five guineas as a mark of my regard and affection.”
To his sons John Pender Paynter and Thomas Francis Paynter, he leaves all his shares in Whele Vor [normally spelt Wheal, meaning Mine] in the parish of Breage and near Helston, and also one near Redruth, and another at Polgooth near St Austle [(normally spelt AUSTELL]. After his death they would become tenants in common, not joint tenants of these shares.
John Pender Paynter was bequeathed the house where Francis lived, called Trekenning in the parish of St Columb Major. This also included all the fields and inclosures and crofts. John is also left enclosures called Castalot or Creggoes, and the meadow that faces the front of the house Trekenning called the Mill Meadow. Also the remainder of his farm in the Garden Meadow.
Thomas Francis Paynter was left Dunkans Meadow, now divided into two fields and the inclosure called Bolithos Field, now divided into three fields in the parish of Saint Columb. Thomas was also left the dwelling house and garden in Higher Trekenning which was rented out for three pounds thirteen shillings and six pence annually. Thomas was also given an annuity of 50 pounds which was rent paid annually by the Reverend Pomeroy Gilbert on the tithes of the Parish of St Wennin. Thomas was also given the benefits of an insurance policy from the Westminster Office for Insurance of Lives and Survivorship. Lastly he was to be paid by the executor two hundred pounds within one year of he father’s death.
All the goods, chattels etc. were bequeathed to John Pender Paynter.
*Edward died in June 1821 at age 4.

Legal document between Charles Henry Paynter and Fanny, 16 April 1838:
Charles Henry Paynter late of the parish of St Columb Minor, now of the Island of Jersey, clerk, and Fanny his wife, heretofore Fanny Peter, spinster. Refers to a “certain Indenture bearing the date eighteenth day of September 1818 made between John Peter of the first part, the said Charles Henry Paynter of the second part, the said Fanny Paynter (then Fanny Peter, spinster) of the third part and William Peter* and Robert Bateman Paul** of the fourth part, being the Settlement made previously to and in contemplation of the Marriage then intended and shortly afterwards had and solemnised between the said Charles Henry Paynter and Fanny Paynter his now wife.
It was amongst things in the said Indenture that a certain sum of Two thousand pounds Capital Bank Stock therein stated to be then standing in the name of the said William Peter should be forthwith transferred in the Book or Books kept for that purpose at the Bank of England into the names of the said William Peter and Robert Bateman Paul their executors administrators and assigns and that the said sum of Two thousand pounds Bank Stock” etc.
Not more than half of the Trust Estate or Monies “for the placing out or advancement in the world or otherwise for the preferment or benefit of any Child or Children of the said intended Marriage when and in such manner as the said John Peter, Charles Henry Paynter and Fanny his wife should see fit.”
“And whereas of a certain Indenture bearing date on or about the eleventh day of May 1837 made between the said Charles Henry Paynter and Fanny his wife of the first part and the said William Peter and Robert Bateman Paul of the second part and Francis Camborne Paynter*** Gentleman and William Merifield Gentleman of the third part” this deed replaces William Peter and Robert Bateman Paul with Francis Camborne Paynter and William Merifield as Trustees.
Mentions “John Peter died in or about the year 1830.”
“And whereas the said Charles Henry Paynter and Fanny his wife being desirous of raising the sum of one hundred and fifty pounds for the advancement in the world of John Bateman Paynter their eldest son.”

“Francis Camborne Paynter and William Merifield shall fortieth pay John Bateman Paynter their son the sum of one hundred and fifty pounds for and towards his advancement in life.”
