"[I]n 1641 William Scrase had a lease of Hova Ecclesia from Dr. Goffe, (fn. 27) being a renewal of his tenure as Goffe had only recently been appointed. (fn. 28) From this time the Scrases, who had been customary tenants of the manor in the previous century and settled in the neighbourhood much earlier, (fn. 29) were lessees of the manor and held the court until 1702, when it passed to Tuppen's great-granddaughter Elizabeth, the wife of Nathaniel Tredcroft."

- The Scrase Family and Piracy.
Several online articles identify this Captain William Scrase with the privateer/pirate active in the 1620s and 1630s, but this Captain William Scrase would seem to have been too young. More research is needed. (Source material on the Scrases and piracy is collected at the link. William's father and grandfather have documented links to privateering and piracy.)
