Benjamin Rosewell (attorney)

It is presumed that he resided at Clapton and practiced as an attorney from 12 Angel Court, Throgmorton Street, London.

Benjamin Rosewell's practice partner at the time of his death was Edwin Dawes, who was possibly a nephew of Weeden Butler.

Benjamin Rosewell made his will[1] on 21 April 1782, in which he provided for his living children and grandchildren, including those natural born.

He expressed much disappointment and frustration with the behaviour of 'my unhappy son Benjamin' and seemed to blame the circumstances on ‘this vile town’.

Administration was granted 18 June 1782 on the oaths of Ann Alleyne Widow and Elizabeth Rosewell Spinster, 'executors as long as they remain single and unmarried', and the other executors Reverend Weeden Butler and Edwin Dawes.
