Further, it has to be the "eldest" male-line descent available.

I think you all discussed this somewhere else, but, how comes Collins has a surname other than Bennet?

It is limited in time to a "life in being plus 21 years."

Isn't this time limit somewhat recent? I had some British Law courses at the university and, I may be wrong, but believe that the "life in being plus 21 years" was a "modern"reform to put some order to entailments and as such did not modify existing ones.
