James’ and Mary’s children contested James’s Last Will and Testament and lost their appeal. When each of James’ and Mary’s children reached the age of adulthood, James gave each of them an equal share of their inheritance for the money value of what had been acquired during James’s and Mary’s marriage. James wanted his children with Hannah to have their equal share of their inheritance acquired during James’ and Hannah’s marriage. The younger children were not to receive their inheritance until they reached adulthood. The older children had the option to take their inheritance when they were of age to spend as they wished, or they could wait until James was deceased. Thompson took his predetermined inheritance before James was deceased and spent it on getting his education to become a Lawyer. In reading the will, this explains why Thompson seems to have received so much less that the other children.
