No lands or tenements came to the hands of Edward nor are still in the king’s hands owing to the death of William Croucheman and the minority of William Wyncelawe . But, owing to the death of William Croucheman , father, and the minority of William son and heir of William Croucheman,

154 a. arable, 4 a. meadow, 1 a. pasture, 3½ a. wood, and 12d. rent in Great Sampford, annual value 10s. 9d., held by William Croucheman , father, of Joan daughter and heir of William Welles by knight service as of the manor of Great Sampford,
came to the hands of Edward and are still in the king’s hands. They are now held of John Ryple and Margaret his wife in right of Margaret by knight service.

William Croucheman died on 20 June 1351. William his son and heir was then a minor and Edward was thus seised of custody of the lands and tenements with the body of William. In the same year (25 Edward III), when she came of age, Joan [Welles] afterwards sued for livery of the manor, among other things, from the hands of ‪ Edward III with Henry Coggessale , then her husband, and they were delivered of this from Chancery. William Croucheman , son, afterwards died before suing for livery of his lands and tenements from the hands of ‪ Edward III . They descended to Mary his daughter and heir, who also died before suing for livery. They descended to William Wyncelawe son and heir of Mary, who also died before suing for livery. They descended to Joan his daughter and heir, who also died before suing for livery. They descended to Walter Huntyngdon , her kin and heir as the son of John Huntyngdon son of Elizabeth sister of William Croucheman, junior , father of Mary mother of William Wyncelawe father of Joan. Walter still lives and is aged 24 and more.

She died on 20 July 1426. Walter is her next heir.
