Twychell. One of the witnesses is John Gober of Horninglow, and 
another Henry del Bushcones of Brontceston, which, no doubt, is 
Branston. 
The deed of 1342 is a deed of gift, by which John Ordurday 
gives to his son, Stephen Ordurday, all the goods and chattels of 
his in a certain tenement which he (John) has previously granted 
to Stephen. 
The one deed of 1351 is a feoffment by which Matilda, daughter 
and heiress of Maurice of Swinesco, grants to Galfred of 
Ockbrook, who is described as ‘‘de Burton,” all her lands and 
tenements in the counties of Stafford and Derby. ‘This lady 
appears to be the daughter of the grantee named in the deed of 
1310. Among the witnesses are Maurice of Wynsull—which, no

and William of Linton. 
The deed of 1394 is a feoffment by which John Walker of 
Burton-on-Trent grants to William Robeley of Burton all the 
arable lands situate in the fields of ‘‘ Wychinere”’ (Wichnor), 
which were granted to him (William) by Robert Walker of 
Repyndon, which no doubtis Repton. 
The deed of 1398 is very illegible. It is a form we have not 
had before, commencing ‘“‘ omnibus christi fidelibus.” It is evi-

The deed of 1479 is a feoffment by which William Blount
