His will was proved at under £3000 on 30 November 1864 at Lincoln, by Thomas Eve of Theddlethorpe, Bennett Pell of Newcastle upon Tyne, and William Allison of Louth.

In October 1819 he sold much of his stock, and in May 1820 he sold the rest and all his ‘implements of husbandry’. From this point onwards he became ‘of Oxcombe’, the farm there having been vacted by the death of his uncle William in 1817, until he sold up there in 1825-26.
