John Myerscough 1743 - 1815 of Chaigley's grandson, another John 1743 - 1815, only child of Thomas Myerscough of Bashall Eaves, left all his large estate of property in Waddington (including Mascar Row cottages, which he built and which still exist today) and fifty acres of land in the Forest of Bowland to his dear wife Margaret nee Kenyon . His cousins and half cousins were to receive one shilling each to be claimed one year after his death. The sorrowful widow quickly remarried in 1816. Her new husband Robert Dewhurst died in 1843 & left all the property to his relations.
