The will of Sophia Daswood (1748-1826), proved on 23 December 1826 (PROB11/1719) has a codicil dated 20 January 1826. Miss Dashwood makes a '...particular request' that her sisters to whom she had bequeathed 'the whole of my trinkets, books and moveable effects...present some article to be selected by them at their discretion to my friend John Popple esq. and also my friend Mrs Jane Seymer as tokens of my friendship and regard for them.'.
