The whole manor thus acquired follows the same descent as that of Overbury in Great Missenden (q.v.) until the death in 1485 of John Iwardby, (fn. 40) whose window Joan held it in 1525. (fn. 41) Owing to the death in 1509 of his second daughter Margery, first wife of Sir Ralph Verney, the reversion passed to their son Ralph, (fn. 42) who died seised in 1546. (fn. 43) On the death after 1559 (fn. 44) of his widow Elizabeth it passed to his son Sir Edumund Verney, heirs of his brother Edumund. (fn. 45) Sir Edumund died seised in 1600, having settled this manor on his wife Mary and his elder son Francis. (fn. 46) Francis Verney and his stepmother sold the Quainton estate in 1607 to Richard Abraham and others.
