The Manor of Wandesford was held in trust to pay residue of her debts. The sale raised £150 for Frances wife of John West jnr. & daughter of Arthur Jegon esq. dec‘d. and an annuity of £40 to Arthur Jegon younger son of Anne Jegon; then forthe use of Robert Jegon, eldest son of Anne Jegon. & heirs of his body, with remainder to Robert Crompton eldest son of Robert Crompton of Little Ruston esq.

The will of Phillip Wheathe (5 January 1652/3) necessitated an agreement to be made on 18 April 1666 to settle any possible disputes over legacies to Isabell and Anne. [HUMAD reference DDSY/62/61] It is assumed that this is where Sledmere came into the Crompton family. Robert and Ann‘s marriage settlement, of 1 November 1666, with Thomas Strickland of Boynton & Walter Crompton of Sunderlandwick esqs. mentions:

In the following years the lands of Sledmere were variously leased and released to different tenants, including Anne Jegon.
