Kent / Re: Alice Hen[d]ley of Cranbrook
« on: Wednesday 22 November 17 19:24 GMT (UK) »
Hi Matt
I am a descendant of Alice Henley & Edward Horden and many of the Grey Coats of Kent. I have done a massive amount of research into my family tree, and extended many lines.
Although not proved positive, I'm more inclined to think that the Alice Henley who m. Thomas Scheaf could well be one of the un-named daughters of John Henley & Agnes Courtop. Age wise plus all the connecting names via the various wills is more fitting, than all of the assumptions I've seen entered in trees.
John Hendle[y] c.1457-1531 of Cranbrooke m. Agnes Courtop.
Will 1531 mentions son Gervas Henley c.1489, and daughters but not by name. Also mentions a John Sheff (? Richards brother).
Son:
Gervas Henley c.1489-1543 of Cranbrook
had a son Walter Henley and also mentions a Thomas Sheffe in his will. ? son of (Richard Sheafe) born c.1532).
Richard Sheafe Will of 1554:
Witnesses: George Atkynson, vicar, Richard Courtop, William Cortopp, Henry Allard, Water Henly.
