He held it, had issue Robert and William and so died. It descended to Robert as heir male and he had issue Thomas Morley . A 1/3 manor was assigned to Parnel, widow of Robert, father of Thomas. She survives holding in dower. Thomas died without heirs male holding 2/3 and the reversion of 1/3. It should descend to Robert, brother of Thomas, but came into the king's hand, whether owing to the minority is unknown. Robert was aged 21 years and more at the death of Thomas. A 1/3 of 2/3 was assigned to Elizabeth, widow of Thomas, who survives. Robert, brother of Thomas, died on 25 Sept. last.
