Notes: In 1542 John Sackville sold to John Selwyn of Friston, Sussex, for 6.13.4, the wardship and marriage of the heir of John Bray of Westdean, Sussex, and the custody of the manor of Westdean which was held of the elder Sackville by knight's service. It would appear that the John Bray referred to would be this John Bray, as his son Edward, "of Henfield and Selmeston, Suss. & Vachery, Surr." was active in the immediate area of Westdean, Sussex. Selmeston, Sussex lies just North of Westdean. He was also Member of Parliament for Lewes which lies to the West. Henfield lies further to the West.
