say, in 1406, married by 1428, with a son (William), born to him 

 about 1436 — such is the pedigree we suggest. 



If this view is correct we should expect to find Bernard's manor 

 of Broadtown and Fraine's manor of Bupton descending together 

 in the line of Home, and of this there is a very strong suggestion 

 in one part of the evidence which follows. We do not find them, 

 however, mentioned together where we should most confidently 

 look for them, in the solitary inquisition taken on the death of 

 any member of this Home family now extant, namely on the 

 death of William Home, in 1488. 



This inquisition was taken at Wilton, 2nd November (on a writ 

 of clievi clausit 25th Oct.) 4 Henry 7 (1488). William Home, it 

 was found, held no lands of the King, in demesne or in service, at 

 his death ; but he had been seised of the manor of Bubton in his 

 demesne as of fee, holding it of the bishop of Salisbury by 2s. rent 

 at Michaelmas yearly, other services unknown ; and, being so seised, 

 by charter indented 6 June, 12 Edward 4 (1472) he enfeoffed 

 Henry Long, John Bayly, William Stodeley, and John Home 

 (presumably his brother) thereof, to the use of himself and his 

 heirs. He died 26 May last (1488). Thomas Home aged 22 and 

 more, is his son and heir. {Inq. p.m., Chanc. Ser. II., Vol. 4, (28).) 



If his son was 22 years old in 1488, born, that is to say, about 

 1466, we may conclude that he was himself bom about 1436, son 

 of William Horne (born about 1406) by the heiress of Bernard, 

 and grandson of Alice Fraine. His father must have been dead 

 in 1472, when he was seised of the manor and gave it to feoffees. 



Another mention of him is found in 1478 [Dc Banco Roll, Mich. 

 18 Edio. 4, rot. 54), when, by the description of William Horne, 

 of Clyff Pypard, " gentilman," he was sued, together with Thomas 

 Bright, of Cotesmersshe, " husbondman," by one William Hooper 

 for detaining a box (■pixidem) full of charters and muniments. 

 The nature of the charge implies a dispute as to land, and the 

 subsequent proceedings in the suit, if traced, might prove in- 

 structive. 



With William's son, Thomas Horne, the direct male line failed, 

 and the inheritance passed to Pile, as the pedigree suggests, in
