Person:Robert Noyes (12)

Estate

"In 1516, Robert Noyes leased the manor of Littleton, Hampshire, from the Abbot of the Monastery of Saint Peter's of Gloucester. [Chancery Proceedings, CI/861/87-91]. After his death, his widow made a new lease and enjoyed it nine years before her own death. The complicated suit brought by Nicholas St. John in the Court of Requests, over possession of two-ninths of this manor, resulted in the recording of depositions about four generations of Robert's family. [Court of Requests, REQ2/14/71].

Robert Noyes left a will, naming his son William as his executor, but this document does not survive. [Lists and Indexes, No. 50, "List of Early Chancery Proceedings", vol.7 (London, 1926), p.186]."^[1]
