"Not that law necessarily be confused with "common sense" but the Irish line was considered at one point legally proven to be the proper descent, even after Sir Isaac Heard had discounted it based on the 1647 will you mention. Whether the claim is true or not, there is a little more to the story. One way or another, the Glassenbury estate did end up back in the hands of the Irish branch until the 20th century."
