John de Mohun I, of Dunster

Greywelle.
The manor sometime belonged to a certain Reginald de Mohun, to him and his heirs in fee, who gave it to William, his younger son, and the heirs of his body. The said William had two daughters, viz.—Mary and Eleanor; Eleanor was espoused to one John de Carru and they had a son, Nicholas, who died without issue. The other daughter Mary was espoused to John de Meryet, and had a son Henry, who died without issue. Through such failure of issue, the manor ought to revert to one John de Mohun as kinsman and heir of the said Reginald. From the said Reginald the right of reversion of the said manor descended to John his son and heir, and from him to John his son, and from the said John son of John son of John to John his son and heir who now claims; he is aged 40 years and more.
