THOMAS GERARD OF TRENT. 59 



There were two sons, John his successor, and Tristram, bom 

 in 1465. 



Collinson gives an account of the Inge family under Corston 

 near Bath (III., 346). Gerard, who had " in his custody 

 many ancient charters and deeds of the manor," rightly 

 assigned them to Gorton Denham, and concludes by stating 

 " from whose heir generally (of Inge) by the Storkes it 

 devolved on the Comptons, late owners of it " (p. 201). 

 It is probable that Agnes Storke remarried Roger Norman. 

 The Patent Roll on 16th Nov., 1484, records a licence to 

 several trustees (but not Kayleway) to grant Gorton to 

 Roger Norman for life, remainder to John Stork and the heirs 

 of his body, remainder to the right heirs of Thomas Inge. 



John Storke (III.) was married by 1483, as in that year he 

 conveyed his interest in the Blandford property to trustees 

 as dower for his wife Margaret, a daughter of John Wadham, 

 senior, of Merifield. He died 20th October (Oxfordshire 

 inquisition), or 9th October, 1485 (Dorset ditto). In the 

 former county he held the Manor of Burton Ynge ; in the 

 latter certain tenements at Blandford which had belonged 

 to his grandfather John Storke, and settled by him as above, 

 and lands in Bradford Abbas, Underdo wne, Lye, and Ware- 

 ham. The Somersetshire inquisition is missing, but from 

 the particulars collected after the death of Tristram Stork, 

 it appears that the family estate included part of Trent, and 

 lands in Gorton, Holway, Crothorne, and Charlton Canvyle. 

 There were no children, and his heir was his brother Tristram, 

 aged twenty years and a half. * An annuity of forty 

 shillings from his Bradford property was given to John, son 

 and heir apparent of Peter Bamfield Esq. (of Hardington). 



Margaret Storke remarried Robert Gilbert, son of John 

 Gilbert of Witcombe, in Gorton Denham. f Robert out-lived 

 his wife, and died 12th November, 1537. The inqusiition
