- The only certain information that we have about the family of JOANE HOO who married PHILLIPE NEWEGATE,¹ is from the will of her father, GUALTHER HOO, found in the Family Histories and Genealogies, I, 499. From this it appears that the property that GUALTHER HOO bequeathed to his sons had descended to him through several generations of ancestors. Mrs. Salisbury thinks that his descent from "John at Hoo" (1558) and earlier from "John off Hoo" (1485) can be proved from the similarity of the descriptions of these lands, which would seem to have been alienated lands from the monastery of St. Edmunds. GAULTHER HOO's will, dated 1587 and proved in 1589, is in part as follows:
- "I Gualther Hooe of Hessett in the county of Suffolk, yeoman, [to eldest son John and his heirs male] Freehold in Hessett, Beighton and Rougham . . . Ande for defaulte of suche yssue make the remainder to the heries males of the bodye of Robte Hoo for ever."² After some further bequest of copyhold lands to the same son, with "Limatacons" or payment of money to the younger brothers Jeremy and John and the sister JOANE, he bequeathed to JOANE his "best round table . . . Unto Philipe Newgate of Horningheath my sonne-in-law my best hose and doublett. . . . my pewter dish to their son, my wife's god-son [i.e., JOHN NEWDIGATE (80).] . . . charging him [his son John] as he will .... etc.

- A branch of the large and widely-scattered family of Hoo was settled at Hessett in 1286; for the itinerant Justice Salamon reports that William Le Hewe held of the Abbot one messuage with two acres of land at an annual rent of eightpence.* They seem also to have had land at an eary date in Monk's Bradfield, and to have had large possessions in Rougham: for in the twenty-first year of Edward I.,

- A.D. 1293, Sir Robert Hoo puts his seal to a deed, witnessed by John de Herst of Hessett, by which John de Gedding, son and heir of James de Gedding, gave a messuage, lands, liberties, &c., in Rougham to Robert, son of Thomas de Bradefielde called Tillotte and Cicely his wife. And this same Sir Robert in the third year of Edward II., A.D. 1309, granted his tenements in Rougham to Robert the son of Thomas de Bradefield and Cicely his wife; which Robert in 1319, granted his lands to Peter Osborne, Rector of Thorpe Abbots in Norfolk, with license to give the reversion, after the death of Robert and Margaret his wife, to the Abbey, to the use of the Sacristan.* The manor of Hoo, from which I suppose the Rougham family was named, had been given to the Abbey by Earl Ulfketel; † and was styled Old Hough, Le Hoo, and Fald Hoo; a form which survives in the name of a residence in Rougham, Eldo House. In the third year of Edward II., A.D. 1310, this manor belonged to the office of Sacristan: ‡ and in 1312 William de Hoo was Sacristan of the Monastery and Archdeacon of Bury.§
- From the title of the tenant in possession, "John off hoo," used in his will dated 1485, and used again of another in the Parish Register in 1558, "Johes at Hoo," it may be inferred that the seat of the family was the Hoo, a part of the parish of Hessett lying close up to Rougham. John Hoo, who died in 1485, had two sons, whom he names in his will, John and Robert, and more than one daughter, whose names do not appear; for he directs that his dowters may have refusal of certain lands, if they come to be sold, provided they will give the same price as any straunge man will give. His wife Kateryn appears to have been the daughter of Reynold Tylley, for in his will he mentions lands "ye whiche," he says, "I holde in ye seyd towne of

- Robert, his son, had a wife Agnes, who joined with him in the gift of the font to the church: he died in 1500, childless, as his will leads me to suppose; and his wife survived him. Of John I can find no further trace: and I presume that either he or his eldest son was buried in 1558, and styled in the Register John at hoo.
