Extract from A Manx Notebook - www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/famhist/genealgy/wills.htm

Land which is sold is on the other hand no heirship to the purchaser, not having come from his ancestors. Accordingly, like chattels, it became in Man the joint property of man and wife, to be divided and disposed of with the rest of the personal property, until this was modified by Statute in 1662. When it had once passed by succession it became land of inheritance.

mills, cottages, and intacks are to descend and pass three descents not reckoning the purchase or enclosure of them . . . but are to be reputed as chattels and bequeathable and dividable as other goods till then."
