Richard Quartermayns to Thomas Stonor

                 116. RICHARD QUATERMAYNS TO THOMAS

                                                   STONOR

                                            [? 12 APRIL, 1471]

   There is no clear indication of the date. Quatermayns had a lawsuit with
John Barantyne as to the manors of Chalgrove and Haseley, of which he was
 feoffee under the will of Barantyne's father; this was between 1467 and
1472; during the same time John Parys was parson of Haseley (Early
Chancery Proceedings, 31/440 and 39/246-8). Barantyne also had a dispute
with Thomas Mylle or Mull as executor of Richard Drayton, with reference
to a bond in surety for an annuity on the manor of Churchill; this was not
earlier than 1469 (id. 45/98). This letter may belong to the same year as
No. 118; if so it may probably be dated in 1471, when Good Friday was
12th April. From A.C.. xlvi, 67.⁵¹
