Of John Argentein, the son of William, we know virtually nothing, because he died in his father's lifetime. The only contemporary document in which he appears is his quitclaim, to Robert Newport and others, of his rights in his father's lands in Fordham, 'Wethermundforde' [?Wormingford] and Bergholt Sackville in Essex, in June 1412 (Close Roll).

We know from later evidence that John married, before 1411, Margery the daughter of Sir William Calthorpe, of Burnham Thorpe, and had by her three children:

    Elizabeth, who was born 11 May 1411 and baptised at Halesworth.

    Joan, who was born 24 June 1413 and baptised at Halesworth.

    John, his heir, of whom below.

John, the son of John Argentein, succeeded his grandfather William in 1419, when he was said to be 5 or 6 years old (this suggests that he was the twin of Joan, the younger of his sisters, although there is no hint of this in her proof of age). But the following July he died, leaving his two sisters as coheirs (Inquisition Post Mortem).

Arrangements were swiftly made for Elizabeth and Joan to be married to two brothers (as, curiously enough, their namesakes, also daughters of a John de Argentein, had been a century earlier). Their husbands were to be William and Robert Alington, the sons of William Alington of Horseheath. In February 1423, William Alington entered into two recognisances, one for 800 marks to Margery, the widow of the girls' grandfather William Argentein, and another for 200 Nicholas Huwysshe and John Tolle (Close Roll) (the last two had been appointed feoffees by William Argentein in 1417 (Cole)).

The marriages had certainly taken place by 1427, when Margery Argentein died, and after Elizabeth and Joan had proved their age, her dower estates were divided between the two couples. However, the younger daughter, Joan, did not survive long. She died on 15 May 1429, aged 15, and left no children (Inquisition Post Mortem). (There was formerly a monumental brass commemorating her in the chancel of Horseheath church.)

Thus Elizabeth became the sole heir to the Argentein estates. They passed through her to her son, John Alington, and were to remain in the Alington family for more than 250 years.
