Thanks Bev and Margaret.
I can only come to the conclusion that Myles' new wife, Lucretia, wanted the will contested.
Myles was a wealthy man in his own right and Lucretia's family seemed well off.
Myles was dead less than a year after in 1840 and the children got nothing that I know of. I do know Myles' daughter in law tried to get some of the money in the late 1880s after Lucretia died.
I just can't work out how a court could stop the children getting the money that their grandmother had left them if their mother died????
