----------------------
Writing his will in April 1730 John Glynn, rector of Crowan, bequeathed £50 to his brother Otho. This is problematic inasmuch as Otho died seven years earlier. There were only two individuals named Otho Glynn during this period, father and son, and the son was already of age in 1730. The leases referred to in 1726 (above) and 1734 (below) both imply that Otho Glynn (senior) was already deceased.
