 Set As Default Person    

• Name	Stephen COBHAM
  Prefix	Sir
  Suffix [ONS gp]	The Elder
  Relationship	with Teresa Ann GOATHAM
  Born	Est 1295
  Gender	Male
  Honours	1306
  	Knighted
  	According to Bellewes, but shown as in 1326 in Shorne Woods Archaeology Group website article. A typo in one of the articles? OR was one date the knighting of his brother Stephen?
  Property	1309	Hever Manor, Hoo Hundred, Kent, England
  	Granted to Stephen by his parents. I don't know if this was before his mother inherited Allington; if so it might have been to provide a separate home for Stephen and his wife.
  Residence	to 1324	Rundale, Shorne, Kent, England
  	The Shorne Woods Archaeology Group suggests that it is believed that Stephen lived at Rundale until his mother's death when he inherited Allington. However it points out that he retained a link after that date, as he was granted a license for a chapel there in 1329, and signed a deed there in 1330.
  Residence	From 1324	Allington Manor, Allington, Kent, England
  	After his mother's death.

  Father	Sir Henry COBHAM,   b. Est 1265,   d. Abt 1316  (Age ~ 51 years)
  Mother	Joan OF PENCHESTER,   b. Bef 1269,   d. 1324  (Age ~ 55 years)
  Married	Bellewes only mentions the one wife of Henry, but the Shorne Woods Archaeology Group website refers to Joan as Henry's second wife. If he did marry twice, whose were the children? The name Stephen may suggest they were sons of Joan of Penchester, as her father was called Stephen, although maybe as there were two sons Stephen one was the son of each of two wives. Bellewes refers to Stephen the younger's mother Joan, as daughter of Stephen of Penchester, granting to him by fines, subject to the payment of life annuities to herself, the manors of Rodmeregge and 'l'unstall, in 1323 (possibly from the Calendar of Close Rolls, p. 683? - or is that citation only for Stephen and his wife being alive in 1342?). The Shorne Woods Archaeology Group does refer to Stephen the elder as the son of Joan, and Bellewes comments on him having taken his mother's arms, so I will assume he was the son of John, for the moment at least.
