John STAMER [26927]

  General Notes:

John first appeared in the records when he and others received a lease on a property in Wethersfield from his father and Thomas Christmas on 20 Mar 1478/79.^[1] He and others leased this messuage in Wethersfield to Richard Hayward and others on 5 May 1483.^[2] John and his father William were witnesses to property being sold from Alice Cranford and her son John Hayward and others to John Herde Sr. and Walt Serle both of Great Bardfield on 20 Apr 1485.^[3]
John was son and heir of William Stamer when he sold a messuage and garden in Wethersfield on the highway from Wethersfield to Braintree to Henry Northey Jr., Thomas Northey, John King and Thomas King on 10 Mar 1502/03.^[4] John was a witness to the purchase of a feoffment in Wethersfield by John Yongman, his son Humphrey Yongman, John Stamer Jr., and others from William Rochester on 20 Jun 1521.^[5] John's will on 15 Jan 1527 left all his estate to his wife but did not mention any other relative.^[6] She did not leave a will directing who should have her property, which probably led to the court case brought by William Pasfield in 1575.
