Her will, as Ann More, of Villiers Street, in the Strand, widow, relict of Whitlock More, late of Hammersmith, Midx., Esq., dated 3 Mch. 1803, was proved 1 Sep. 1804, by Joseph Moser, of Princes Street, Spitalfields, Midx.. Esq., husband of her niece Elizabeth-Julia, and by her friend James Morrissett, of Denmark Street, Soho, Esq. She bequeathed £100 each to her said niece and her husband, and £500 to the French charity school in Windmill Street, Tottenham- Court Road. She directed to be buried in the Cloisters, expressing her desire that her remains should be kept the proper time, and adding " but before I am soldered up in the leaden coffin, that an incision may be made in my throat by cutting the windpipe." The Funeral Book says that she was buried in the Dark Cloister. (Whitlock More, bachelor, and Mary Willis, spinster (perhaps a first wife), both of Chelsea, Midx., were married at Clapham, co. Surrey, 2 Oct. 1746).
