Notes |
- This is the John Ward mentioned in the will of Joan Ward (His aunt), sister of Sir Roger Ward (1430-1472) as follows: "I will, with the consent of Nicholas Warde, my brother, that a tenement at Skelton go to John Warde, son of Sir Roger Warde, deceased, after the death of the said Nicholas."
(My note): It is not known whether this John Ward actually received the tenement at Skelton. However, in the book 'Memorials of the Church of St. Peter and Wilfrid' there is the following entry:
"The Prebend of Munckton
according to the antient Survey.
Item of John Warde, William Smithe, Thomas Steele, Thomas Tailor and others in the Towne of Skellton, p. Ann. 40s."
Also, according to the book 'Mary Ward - A World in Contemplation' it says: "In 1502 John took possession of a farm with appurtenances in Great Ouseburn and at the same time fifteen properties with appurtenances in Great Ouseburn, Brampton and Haytfield, as well as one third of the mill in Brampton and of a manor, also in Great Ouseburn"
