A HISTORY OF HERTFORDSHIRE 



the other half was held by Hugh OddingseUes and his 

 descendant; by knight service as parcel of the barony 

 of Ulverley." 



Basilia and Hugh Odding- 

 seUes, the immediate ten- 

 ants of the manor, left two 

 sons, William and Hugh, 11 

 who divided the property and 

 so formed two manors. 

 William OddingseUes, who 

 was lord of the manor of Soli- 

 hull in Warwickshire, tooK 

 that half which was afterwards 

 known as the manor of PIR- 

 TON. x * Hugh's moiety of 

 the property became the 

 manor of OddingseUes (q.v.). 



William OddingseUes died i 

 hi. son Edmu ' " 



md, 13 who probably died without issue, 



as the manor was divided between two of Edmund*! 



sUters, Ida and Alice." Ha was wife of John de 



Clinton, first Lord Clinton, 



Alice was the wife of Thomas 



de Caunton." Ida wai 



succeeded by her son and 



then by her grandson, both 



named John de Clinton." 



Alice died in 1322 and was 



succeeded by her son David." 



David and Joan his wife 



settled the property on them-. 



selves and their heirs with 



remainder to William de 



Clinton Earl of Huntingdon, 



a younger son of John and 



Ida de Clinton." David died 



before 1343 and Joan married 



as her second husband Laurence de Ayot." They 

 held the manor jointly until Joan died 

 in 1354, leaving a daughter Elizabeth, 1 * 

 who married a certain Maurice who 

 is called son of John son of Nichol." 

 Elizabeth died without issue in 1 364,** 

 and the manor passed by the settle- 

 ment to John de Clinton (nephew 

 and heir of William de Clinton Earl 

 of Huntingdon), 10 to whom William 

 de Caunton, heir of Elizabeth, released 

 all his right. He received an annual 

 pension from the earl of £10 out of the 

 manor for life. so Thus both moieties of 

 the manor were united in the hands of 

 John de Clinton. Edward de Clinton 

 son of John de Clinton died seised of 

 the manor in 1399-14.00 and was suc- 

 ceeded by his nephew William," who 

 granted the manor to certain feoffees, 

 by whom it was conveyed to Richard 

 Clitheroe. His son Roger died in 

 1455 and left a daughter Eleanor wife 

 of John Norreys." John survived hii 

 wife and died in 1485 ; his son and 

 heir Edmund was then aged seven. 

 His second wife Isabel afterwards 

 married Henry Marney." In January 

 1 507-8 Edmund Norreys conveyed the 

 manor to Alice Say, widow, and John 

 Lech, her son." According to Chauncy, 

 in the reign of Elizabeth it was In the 

 possession of Samuel Maron of Berks- 

 well, co. Warwick,** and was sold by 

 his son Edward in 1611 to Thomas 

 Docwra of Putteridge. But this can 

 scarcely be correct, for the inquisition 

 on Thomas Docwra quotes a settlement 

 made by his father Thomas Docwra <
