The structure varied among his children: in the case of two of his younger sons and four unmarried daughters, he left each £3000 [subsequently increased to £5000] each, with an annuity of £120 p.a.

He left specified family portraits in his will, three by Smibert [now lost] to his son William and one by John Singleton Copley [extant, see opposite] to Leonard.
