notes

From http://www.whereitis.co.uk/watchfield.chronicle/key-page/the-17th-c... "the Manor of Watchfield"

It was William & Hester's daughter Susan who provided the next owner of the manor. In the opening years of the 17th century, Susan had run away from an arranged marriage that was due to take place, probably at Shrivenham, and secretly married a man called Robert Tatton. Her father described Tatton's behaviour as, "by various practises, intised and gotten away my daughter and maryed her." The marriage produced at least two sons, George and Thomas, and it was grandson Thomas who inherited the manor from his grandmother Hester just before her death in 1639.
