To his eldest son Michael, his tenement in Hipperholme new divided into 3 in the occupation of the said Michael, widow Brotten and Anneon Hargraves and two gardens and one close called the Buntle, 3 roods of land. All these to go to Michael's son Robert after Michael's death. He left Abraham an annuity of 30s from the Hipperholme lands.
