Further, the land which Sarah expected to inherit from her mother in Assington, Suffolk was to remain under Sarah's control, and Bixby promised to give both of Sarah's son their inheritance from their father - £15 to the elder and £5 to the younger, as well as their father's books.

A month later Nathaniel Rogers and John Wyatt went to court, saying that Bixby had fled the jurisdiction of the court and not said when he would return.
