248. THOMAS BETSON'S ACCOUNT FOR
FENN'S BEQUEST

 

[? 1479]

 

    On 1st July, 1475, Sir William Stokker, William Heriot, John Stokker and
John Pake entered into a bond for the payment of ?400 by Sir William
Stokker of that sum to the use of John, Katherine, Joan and Anne, children of
Thomas Ryche when they come of age or marry; the money having been
left by John Fenne, stockfishmonger (Letter Book, L. 131). This may be an
account relating to the shares of the three daughters; "maystresse Jayn" is
no doubt the second; she seems to have been in London with Betson in
September, 1479 (see No. 249); this account may perhaps have been
rendered a little earlier. From Ch. Misc., 37, iv, 36.
