Title	Copy statement by member of Finney family: that his father and grandfather were natives of Ashford. His grandfather had a brother, William Finney who lived at the Rookery, Ashford, his own property. He married a Widow Bullock with two sons, a doctor and a clergyman whom he brought up and educated, and to whom he left all his property except an estate at Overhaddon entailed on the male heir, "my father". He believes Mrs Smither's grandfather, Mr Longstone married a Finney. Richard Finney of Stony Middleton had 2 daughters, one of whom married Dr Denman, uncle of the present Lord Denman. The other never married and never made a will thinking the estate would come to deponent's father, the last of the Finneys. It actually went to a child who came from London and whom Robert Shaw of Monsall [Monsal] Dale brought to Ashford. She married Abraham Brown who sold the estate to Dr Denman. There is said to be a Finney, a tobacconist in Leadenhall Street, London
