139. EXPENSES OF AN INQUISITION POST MORTEM [? 1474]

This most probably relates to the Inquisition for the second Thomas Stonor in 1474. The names of Twenyo (Twynho) and Sir John Butteler point to the reign of Edward IV. See Nos. 215 and 294 (note). Nos. 229-232 in Ancient Correspondence, xlvi, contain the oaths of the Jurors in the In|quisitions held on that occasion in Kent and Hampshire together with the names of the Jurors. The Inquisitions were held in October, 1474; it was found that Thomas Stonor held no land in either county, that he died on 23rd April last, and that William, his son and heir, was aged 24 and more. The nine documents numbered A.C., xlvi, 225 to 233, were found stitched together; for the others see Nos. 138, 143, 144, 152. From Ch. Misc., 37, iv, 10.
