Doesn't seem to mention the amount of rent for the property.
Maybe then that this land has come to him via his wife Ann Collister. [I was also trying to find if there was a connection to the Radcliffe family of Knockaloe. Leonora Radcliffe m John Callister c1725. Their youngest son Samuel Callister's daughter was Ann b1777 German - I think this may be Richard Shimmin's wife but have no absolute proof but wondered if any of their property came from that family although Samuel didn't appear to leave anything to Ann in his Will.]
