Longe, and others, in trust for himself and wife, and after their 
deaths for his nephew Thomas Horton, the son of his elder brother 
William. 
This Thomas Horton married Margaret Barkesdale, who survived 
him 15 years. He lived at Westwood, but happened to die in 
London 4th of June 1549. Both husband and widow, most 
obligingly for my pedigree, made wills, the widow in 1562 
distributing small legacies and plate (‘gilt saults and goblets”’), 
all she had to leave, among her children and grandchildren. The 
husband left to his eldest son William, after the widow’s death, 
his property at Iford and Westwood and “all the lands which the 
said Thomas acquired from King Henry VIII. and was seized in 
fee.” Edward, the second son, had all his other lands, among which 
are particularised Horton’s chantry at Bradford, lands at Cricklade, 
Rode, Tilshead, and Corsley. This is the Edward Horton, who 
purchased our quarter manor of John Talbot in 1584, and at that 
time he is expressly styled “of Westwood.” By his marriage with 
Alice May, he had. one twelfth of the manor. A grandson of 
Thomas and Margaret, Henry Longe, who was the son of Sir Henry 
Longe and Mary Horton, by marriage with Mary May, owned an- 
other one twelfth. Another grandson, Edward Longe, brother of 
the preceding was the purchaser of Monkton. Another grandson, 
Jeremy Horton, son of William, by marriage with Anne May, owned 
another one twelfth. So that the immediate descendants of this 
worthy couple had between them half Broughton (originally 
Catharine Gifford’s) and all Monkton. Their great grand-sons, 
John Horton and Edward Longe, owned all Broughton and all 
Monkton. 
How John Horton reunited the manor has already been 
seen. His parents, Jeremy Horton and Anne May, were married 
6th June 1586. She died on the anniversary of the accession of 
Queen Elizabeth, ten years afterwards. The widower married 
again, and died between 1614 and 1620, when we find his second 
wife a widow living at Broughton. By his first wife he had two 
sons, Edward, born 20th Feb. 1589, who died in his 17th year the 
heir of his great uncle, Edward of Westwood; and John, born 8th
