(Heir) WillThomas Bonnycastle was named an heir in the will of John Bonnycastle dated 12 Feb 1708/9 in Northamptonshire. "To my son Thomas Bonycastle of Blackesly in the County of North'ton one shilling."1
WillThomas Bonnycastle wrote a will dated 5 Sep 1728 in Blakesley, Northamptonshire. It is interesting to note that Thomas had two living sons but chose his daughter Mary, perhaps because she lived closest, to be his executor.3
Burial.He was buried on 25 Sep 1728 in Blakesley. The parish register recorded him as "Thomas Bonney" and noted that an affidavit was received that he was buried in woollen. [In order to encourage the wool trade, an act was passed in 1678 making it compulsory for all corpses to be buried in a shroud made of wool, an affidavit having to be made (and recorded in the register) that this had been done.]4 
Probate On 30 Sep 1728 an inventory of Thomas' estate was given, with a total value of £4-19-00. Details are in the linked document.3
ProbateHis estate was administered on 11 Jan 1728/29 by Maria [Mary] Bonnycastle.1 
Possibly RelatedHe and Anne Bonnycastle were possibly related. Anne, who was buried in Blakesley in 1698, could be a child of Thomas & Elizabeth who were having children in Blakesley in the 1690s. Or, Anne could be Thomas' mother.
