His first wife Christina, widow of William de Apleton, died without issue in 1325 (19 Edw. II.), and was buried at Stoke Neyland with great pomp. The bill of expenses incurred in buying provisions for the feast at her funeral shows that a multitude of guests were present, and that the price of wheat in 1325 was extraordinarily low. Amongst other items, 50 quarters of wheat cost 41. 10*.,* one hogshead of wine 53s. 4rf., 4 muttons 5«., 8 barrowhogs 24s. His second wife was Joan de Marney of Layer Marney in Essex, who was the mother of his heir, and with whom, by a fine levied in the King's Court at York in 1338 (12 Ed\v. III.), he settled his estates on his issue male with remainder to his brother John.
