Notities over WILLIAM BARHAM

William BERHAM born about 1510 (1502) in Bivelham manor, Wadhurst, East Sussex. Known as William Barham of Stalerege.
1520 Feoffee of Brookland with John Barham 10 February 1520-1, released same 31 July 1528.
1545 Admitted at Court held 1 December 1545 to the said lands in the virgates of Wyke and Stalrege. 1548 His death reported at Court held 20 February 1547-8

It is likely that this earliest William1 Barham was the son of one Nicholas Barham. A very faded document dating from 1546 held in the National Archives shows the connection:
It is presented that Thomas Baker, feoffee to the last will of Nicholas Barham .... at a court held at Mayfield ..... Henry VIII 37 .... surrendered into the hands of the lord 5 acres of bondhold land ..... acres bondhold in the Virgate of Stalerege ..... to the use of William Barham ..... ?virgate ....heirs and assigns......

Presumably William had come into this inheritance some years before, although as his father’s date of death is unknown, and his will is no longer extant, it is hard to be sure. However, William himself died sometime shortly before a court held on 20th February 1547. If he was old and infirm, this may explain why the same document records him as in default of suit at a court on 30th September 1546.

If the information above is correct, then it must be his son, the second William, who is referred to in the following, from a court held on 2nd March the same year:

To this (court?) came Nicholas Barham and surrendered into the hands of the lord .. field called Barnfield.... croft? Lying? in north.... .... field called Barnhaws ?in parish of Wadhurst .... containing by estimation in total vi acres bondhold in the virgate of Stalerege to the use of William Barham and John Barham who were admitted tenants ?with their heirs and assigns to the use of the said William and his heirs ..... to the will of the lord according to the customs of the manor. [Ref to] iiid?... and gave to the lord a fine of vid .... faithful... ??and gave nothing to the lord .. heriot and remains tenant.

Once again, the combination of faded ink, Latin and Tudor handwriting make it difficult to be sure about the exact wording, but I think the gist is right.
