1249 THOMAS STUCLE, son and heir of NICHOLAS STUCLE, esq.
Writ de Ætate probanda, 20 Sept., probatio œtatis 30 Jan., 12 Hen. VII.
The writ recites that the said Nicholas Stucle, his father, held of the King in chief, as of the duchy of Cornwall, which was then in the King’s hands; and recites the grant by deed dated 1 Dec., 5 Hen. VII, of the said duchy to Prince Arthur, and to the eldest sons of the said Prince and his heirs, Kings of England; and directs that the said Thomas, who claims to have been born at Afton and baptized in the church there and to be now of full age, shall make proof, &c., warning being first given to Thomas Wode, late one of the King’s sergeants-at-law, and Thomas Inglefeld, who by grant of the King had the custody of the said Thomas Stucle’s lands, to appear, &c.
DEVON. He is, and on midsummer day last was, of the age of 21 years. Thus:—
John Courtenay of Mollond (a juror aged 46 and more) says that the said Thomas is aged 21, and this he well remembers, because the said Nicholas had issue the said Thomas by Thomasine his wife, and a year and more later had issue by her a daughter called Joan, and again a year or more later another daughter called Margaret. And afterwards the said Thomasine died, and the said Nicholas married Anne the relict of Thomas Butside, one of the daughters of Edward Pomerey, esq., and sister of Elizabeth late the wife of Humphrey Courtenay, esq., deponent’s uncle. And he says that eighteen years have elapsed from the time when, after the death of the said Thomasine, the said Anne took the said Nicholas to husband; and this he knows well, because the said Nicholas and Anne a year after their marriage had issue a son William Stukeley, who is now seventeen years old. And he well remembers the foregoing particulars because he has been constantly at the house (conversans in domo) of the said Nicholas since the marriage of the said Nicholas and Anne, and has known the said Thomas Stukeley all the time.
Nicholas Cokeworthy, esq., (a juror aged 42 and more), says, &c., and this he well remembers because he was present at the said Thomas’ baptism in Afton parish church on the 24th of June, 15 Edw. IV, and saw the child lifted from the holy font there by Thomasine late the wife of Thomas Seyntmawre, knt., mother of the said Nicholas. And on the said 23rd (sic) of June, he, Nicholas Cokeworthy, entered the birth (scripsit nativitatem) of the said Thomas with his own hand in a book belonging to the said Nicholas.
Thomas Mulford (a juror aged 44) was godfather, two days after the birth of the said Thomas Stukeley, to William son of Thomas Maude, at Est Wolryngton, under a mile distant from Afton parish church, which William was aged 21 on the 26th of June last.
William Clotworthy (a juror aged 50 and more) says that the said Thomas is aged 21, and this he well remembers because he was present at Afton when he was born; and the said Thomas was baptized June 24th, 15 Edw. IV, in the parish church of Afton, at which time he, the said William, was sent by the said Nicholas Stukeley to one Thomas Beamount, esq., to ask him in the name of the said Nicholas to be godfather; and the said Thomas Beamound was godfather accordingly. He the better recollects the foregoing particulars, inasmuch as within six weeks of the birth of the said Thomas, his father Thomas Clotworthy died. And he says that on the feast of St. James the Apostle last twenty-one years had elapsed since his said father’s decease.
The remaining jurors say that the said Thomas Stukeley was 21 years old on midsummer day last, because they say that he was born at Afton June 24th, 15 Edw. IV, and was baptized the same day in the parish church of Afton, at which time they were servants at the house (famuliares et conversantes) of the said Nicholas Stukeley. They further state that Joan, sister of the said Thomas, who was born after him, has been married these two years past to Philip Baynard, and they have had issue between them since their marriage divers boys. And they have been acquainted with the said Thomas Stukeley from the said time of his birth up to the present, and so they know by their own proper observation and also by the common report of the county where he was born, that he was twenty-one years old and more on midsummer day last.

William Umfrey says that Richard Mill father of the said William received, and was in the act of receiving, 20s. from him in the hall of the said Richard at the time when it was announced to him by a woman called Isabel that his wife had borne a very fine boy, whereupon being exceedingly pleased he gave the said Isabel 12d. of the sum he had just received, and quickly left this deponent, telling his clerk John Forster to give him a receipt, which he has still got, and which is dated 23 April, 13 Edw. IV.
Elias Clarys says that William his son was born at Pulburgh the day after the said William, and he will be 24 years old on the eve of St. Mark next.
Philip Hene says that Robert Mill of Pulbergh, ‘yoman,’ was buried on the eve of St. Mark the Evangelist, 13 Edw. IV, before mid-day in Pulbergh churchyard, and the said William was baptised in Pulbergh church in the afternoon of the same day. And he, Philip, was one of the said Robert’s executors, and is bound by his will to keep his anniversary for twenty-four years, and it was twenty-three years from the said Robert’s death on the eve of St. Mark last.
John Grimvile married Agnes his wife in Pulbergh church the Sunday after the said William was born.
Robert Benet took seisin on the day the said William was born of an acre of land in Pulbergh, on the north of his tenement, which he bought of John Hunt, and the date of the deed of purchase was 22 April, 13 Edw. IV, and when he had taken his seisin he went to the house of the said Richard Mill to show him the deed and to have his advice what he had to do further, and he was then told of the birth of a son to the said Richard; and it was the talk of the servants of the said Richard and others there, that the child was to be named George, but he was called William instead, by command of William, then Earl of Arundell, as was afterwards said.
His lands of inheritance were in the custody of Thomas Combes, esq., by grant from King Edward IV.
