Elizabeth Locke

Scot's Manor, Abbotsley Parish, County of Huntingdon:

In 1399, Robert Scot, who was in the king's service, was apparently holding this land. (fn. 43) He died after 1428, (fn. 44) and certainly left a daughter and heiress named Elizabeth, but she does not seem to have inherited Scot's Manor, (fn. 45) which passed to Eustace Valdrian and his wife Rose. (fn. 46) Whether Rose was another daughter of Robert Scot does not appear. She may have afterwards married Stephen Brown, alderman of London, to whom, together with his wife Rose, Thomas Pyttes of Tempsford, Beds., in 1443, remised all his right in the manor. (fn. 47) After the death of Valdrian and his wife, who were enfeoffed for their lives, the manor was claimed from feoffees by their three daughters, Alice the wife of William Joseph, Elizabeth the wife of John Lok, and Jane the wife of John Louthe. (fn. 48) The manor was assigned to John Lok and his wife Elizabeth, (fn. 49) who, after John's death, married William Yorke. (fn. 50)
