DescriptionThese have been previously numbered and the original order has been retained. It relates to a complex and protracted case between the Estoft and Moyser families. Alexander Stockdale was the common ancestor of both families. He had two wives, both producing children - one family became Moysers and the other, Stockdales. The Moysers and Estofts appear to quarrel over the land left by Alexander Stockdale at Lockington. The case is taken up by the Court of Ward and Liveries in London which dealt with land inheritance.
