Thomas Crewe, son and heir of Thomas, married Amicia, daughter of -----, who, describing herself as "widow of Thomas lord of Crue," releases to her daughter Jane, by deed without date, all that she had in Crue, in right of dower. The same Amicia, 26 Edw. I. being then widow of Robert de Thykeness, releases in her pure widowhood, to Richard de Praers and Jane his wife, her daughter, a grange, which she had for dower, after the death of Thomas de Crue, in Crue.
The said Thomas de Crue died 21 Edw. 1. seized, inquisition of the year following, of a knight's fee in Crue and other places, holding his lands in Crue by military service, and by sending an armed man twice a year to keep the peace during the fairs at Chester. He left three daughters and co-heiresses; Joan, aged 22 years; Amicia aged four years; and Eleanor, two and a half.[Williamson's Vill. Cest.]
