Hants East Tisted
I expected to find John and Anne Norton (nee Puttenham) kneeling here
John (1564) was the son of Richard Norton and Elizabeth Rotherfield On his death Anne his widow sought dower in East Tisted against her son Richard. She stated that she had been dispossessed by subtle practice between this her son and his uncle, who 'when the said orator was in great heaviness and sorrow for the death of her late husband came to her and brought a deed of release by which she should release unto the said Richard all right of dower in the said lands . . . while they swore to her that there was nothing in it but a note or remembrancer of such lands as her late husband held and nothing that would do her harm.' Trusting to them she signed the deed and her son seized the lands. Richard died in 1592 while Anne was still living, but the manor of East Tisted was settled on Katherine his wife instead
