On 16 June 1741, Theodorick Bland gave a bond of £400 to Francis Smith with the condition that Theodoric and his wife Frances would sell her share of “Bathurst” to Francis Smith when Frances reached the age of 21. On 21 and 22 February 1743/4, deeds and releases were signed by Theodoric and Frances selling the land to Francis Smith. This indicates that Frances was born sometime after 16 June 1720 and before 21 Feb 1722/3.
