In 1724, Robert Warland married Ann King (1701 - 17 April 1784), the daughter of Christopher King. Robert and Ann had the following children, born in the Canford Magna area:
On 1 January 1739, Robert Warland (senior) entered into a 99-year leasehold contract with Sir Thomas Webb Baronet, then Lord of the Manor of Great Canford in the County of Dorset. (Click on the link for the full text), taking over the following land that had previously been '... in the tenure of Giles Smith Gentleman' and then Winifred Smith, his wife. The land included in the contract was described as follows:
All that Messuage ['A dwelling house together with its outbuildings, curtilage, and the adjacent land appropriated to its use'] or Tenement commonly called or known by the name of Gillinghams and one parrock ['A croft, or small field'] thereto adjoining containing one acre, a Close adjoining containing six acres, another Close adjoining containing (four) acres, a Close called Hunny Mead containing two acres, a Close called Wounton (?) containing by estimation five acres, a Close called Coppice Close containing by estimation two acres and three roads, a Close called Barrows Hows containing by estimation ten acres in the meadow called Metterwood (?) four acres and in Simons Mead one acre with the rights members and appurtenances whatsoever to the said Messuage or Tenement Lands Hereditaments and premises belonging or in any wise appurtences which said Messuage or Tenements Hereditaments and Premises are situate at or near Lake in the said Parish of Great Canford.
Robert Warland senior died in 1758. According to the contract, in around 1760, Robert Warland's sons Robert Warland (1731 - 1782), William Warland (1733 - 1794), Christopher Warland (1736 - 1816), and Henry Warland (1742 - 1819) - but not their brother John Warland (1726 - 1794) took possession of the land, partitioning and dividing the land.
Robert Warland junior (1731 - 1782) died leaving a will that appointed John Warland [1726 - 1794] and Christopher Warland [1736 - 1816] his brothers to be trustees in his affairs. However, Robert Warland did not '... make any particular disposition of the said Leasehold premises'. Robert Warland's brothers then arranged for the leasehold to be transferred to them via the prerogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury 'in trust for them the said Mary (nee Warland) the wife of the said Edward Tory and Jane (nee Warland) the wife of the said William Mackrell', and possessed it.
On 4 August 1784, Robert Warland's daughter Mary Warland (born 1766) married Edward Tory. A few days later, on 9 August 1784, an indenture was created between Edward Tory, Mary Tory (nee Warland), and John and Christopher Warland 'being the settlement executted previously to the marriage' of Edward and Mary Tory.
After John Warland's death in 1794, the indenture became the sole responsibility of Christopher Warland. Perhaps, with his advancing age, Christopher then decided in 1808 to draw up a new contract to ensure that his niece Mary Tory would continue to receive 'the said rents and profits for her own separate use and not to be subject to the debts or engagements of the said Edward Tory her then intended Husband but her receipt alone notwithstanding her intended Coverture to be a sufficient discharge for the same and from and after her decease'.
Robert Warland's last child, Henry Warland (1742 - 1819) was said to have married Ann Eyers/Ayers (likely to have been a sister or relative of Henry's brother William's wife, Dorothy). After Henry died in 1819, it appears Ann Ayers went to live with her nephew Christopher, the son of her brother-in-law Christopher (1736 - 1816, see above). However, Henry's will makes no mention of a wife. His beneficiaries are shown as:
Witness to his will were: John Eaton (bricklayer); John Abbott (yeoman); William Freeman (Attorney's Clerk of Blandford Forum).
