The Reverend John Mogridge wrote his last will and testament in May 1785. His brother James Mogridge, a surgeon, together with William Sunter and Joseph Sunter, clothiers, were appointed executors and trustees, and were charged with investing £800 in public funds. £25 interest was to be drawn every year and put towards the 'maintenance, education and benefit' of his daughter Frances Mogridge, until she reached the age of 21, or married with the consent of the trustees. The £800 then became hers. The rest of the Reverend's estate, together with any surplus interest from the £800, was to be used for the benefit of his son, also called John, until he, too, reached the age of 21. This could include provision for his education, or towards a trade or profession: when he reached 21 the estate became his.
John Mogridge signed his will with a mark in front of witnesses, 'the said Testator John Mogridge being unable to write by means of the gout in his hand'.
