Boles and
Boles (1998) quote p216 of
Fry and
Fry (1901):
".. after the death of William
SLOPER, son and heir of Thomas
SLOPER, deceased,
by the oath of (17 names) who say that Thomas
SLOPER .. was seised of one
messuage, 1.5 virgates of land and one cottage in Easterton, which said
premises Joan, wife of Edward NORWAYE and Elenora wife of Nichalas PEERCE alias
CLARKE hold by copy of court roll of the manor of Easterton for their lives.
So seised, the said Thomas died 21.4, 17 James 1 (1619): after his death the
said premises came into the hands of the King by reason of the minority of the
said William, .. (and) are held of the King as of his manor of Kingeston Lacye,
Co. Dorset, by knight's service, and are worth per annum, clear, nothing during
the lives of the said Joan and Elenor, but afterwards they will be worth
13s 4d. The said Joan still survives.
William
SLOPER died 15.9, 6 Charles 1 (1630) being under age and in the
wardship of the King. Mary wife of Thomas WITHER, Joan wife of Robert TARREANT,
Alice wife of William NASHE, and Elizabeth
