1422 / f   1065   Kent   debt   Stone, Christopher   Forde, William, of Sellynge, husbandman, executors of; (Wrathe, John, of Sellynge, husbandman; Mary his wife)

Can anyone tell me what's going on here? I suspect Christopher was unable to raise the money he owed but it would be nice to have confirmation of this. I know that in William Forde's will dated 1582 he wrote:

 "I gyve unto Stephen my sonne my howse and lands at Bunningtonne which I late purchased of Xtoper Stone for him and his heires forever Provided that is Xtopher Stone or his assignes do paye or cause to be payde unto Stephen my sonne or his assignes the some of xxxli of lawful money of England in the daye of the feaste of Sainte Michael the'arkeangle next after the date of this my presente will. That then sayde moneye shall remaine to the only use of my sayde sonne Stephen and to his heires and assignes."

I suspect they are the actual wills and not just a calendar (from what I've read). But this is not a definitive answer.

Why thank you indeed. That's much more than I'd hoped for.

I wonder, is there any chance that it could be sixty acres rather than six? Very annoying that a vital part of the document comes with some damage at that point. That's because there is a property in Godmersham and Crundale that came with 60 acres and I suspect it may well be this one which was why I was particularly interested in this document.

Thank you again for the time and trouble you have taken on my behalf

 In some navies, a ship's corporal is a position—not the rank—of a petty officer who assists the master-at-arms in his various duties. Historically, a master-at-arms was responsible for the training of soldiers during peace time, or actively involved in leading the defense of a fortification during war time.

In some countries, the term navy police is used for a part of a navy responsible for law enforcement, such as the Royal Navy Police, known as the Royal Navy Regulating Branch until 2007.
