Nicholas MURTON

Est 1490 - 1534  (~ 44 years)

 Set As Default Person

• Name	Nicholas MURTON
  Relationship	with Teresa Ann GOATHAM
  Born	Est 1490
  	A rough estimate - based on estimate of dob of his probable son Austen, and assuming he was third son as listed third in Chancery court case. Graveney is very close to  Boughton under Blean, and the fact Nicholas had a son Austen suggests he was probably father of or at least closely related to my 12 x gt grandfather Augustine / Austen MURTON.
  Gender	Male
  Residence	1534	Graveney, Kent, England
  	Nicholas' home when he wrote his will
  Died	1534	(probably), Graveney, Kent, England
  	Between writing his will and it being proved; according to Canterbury Probate database were in 1534. Of Graveney when he wrote his will.
  Will	29 Nov 1534
  	Written
  Property	Between Dec 1534 and 1538	Graveney, Kent, England
  	A Chancery Court case which in which the Bill must date from between 1534 (it refers to Nicholas as deceased, and his widow Bennet had remarried) and 1538 (it names the Lord Chancellor of England as 'Thomas Audeley knyght') refers to the detention of deeds relating to a gavelkind messuage in Graveney, by Robert Martyn, gentleman. The plaintiffs were Richard, Thomas and Austen, sons and heirs of Nicholas Murton. (The accusation may have been a fiction - a way of recording a property transaction). 'Robert Martyn' was probably the brother of the 'John Marten', mentioned in Nicholas' will as who he had purchased a house from. (This Chancery case concerns a dispute between John's widow and his brother Robert). (TNA ref: C 1/860/35)
  Probate	17 Mar 1535	Archdeaconry Court, Canterbury, Kent, England
  	The original appears not to survive, but the register copy does (I have a copy of it)

  	Bennet was Nicholas wife when he wrote his will and died; although this alone does not necessarily mean she was the mother of any or all of his children a Chancery Court case does describe her as the natural (i.e. biological) mother of the three sons involved (Richard, Thomas and Augustine).
