- Will of Cecily Kirriel
Cecily Kirriel, in my pure widowhood, 7th April 1472. My body to be buried wherever I may happen to die. To Isabella Cheney c marks on her marriage; also a tenement in Westhanger; to John Kirriell, ... to John Kirriel, bastard, all the aforesaid utensils if the above-mentioned John Kirriell shall chance to die beyond seas ; I will that a chaplain be found to celebrate for the souls of John Hill and Sir Thomas Kirriell, Knight, late my successive husbands, and for the souls of John, Thomas, Roger, and my other sons, and for the souls of Katherine, and my other daughters, in the Church of the Friars Augustines at Canterbury, for one year; to John Cheney, my son, my white ambling horse. And I appoint Sir John Scott, Knight, and John Cheney, of Polton, in the county of Somerset, Esquire, my executors '. Proved 16th July 1473.
All John Stourton's landed property he had previously settled on his daughters, in his lifetime, and when his Inquisition was taken after his death, at Yeovil, in 17 Henry VI., 1439, he was called John Stourton, Esquire, of Preston, not Brimpton, and it was proved and found by the Jurors that he then held no lands, hereditaments and premises within the County of Somerset, his three daughters,
(1) Cecily, wife of Thomas Kuriel, knight, aged 34 years;
(2) Johanna, wife of John Sydenham, Esquire, aged 21 years; and
(3) Alice Stourton, aged 7 years; were his coheirs at law.
These daughters were respectively children by each of his three wives, and the Inquisition is important as deciding the priority of their births. There was also some confusion made in his three wives, although more care was used in ascertaining the child by each marriage, excepting as to their priority of birth. John Stourton's first wife was Joan, daughter of William Banastre, Lord of the Manors of Wheathill, Radstock, &c., widow of Robert Aff'eton, living in 1395. He founded an obiit to " Pray for the soul of Joany sometime the wife of John Stourton;}." By her he had one daughter and heir, eventually a coheir : -
Cecily Stourton, aged 34 years in 1439, she married (i) John Hill,
of Spakton, aged 21 years on his father's death, on Sunday the Feast of St. Mark, I424, who himself died on Thursday next after the Feast of St. Calixtus in 1435, with whom she claimed a house in Wells, as heir of her maternal grandfather, William Banastre, called Lord of Wellesleigh, who had, by deed in 12 Richard II., ... which John and Cecily Hill alleged they had been dispossessed of it.
She married (2) Sir Wlliam? Kuriel, knight, of Westhangre, Kent, whose wife she was at her father's death, and under the latter's will she had one silver cup .... On her death, 15th April, 1472, Preston Pluckenet passed to her son and heir by John Hill.
