• Notes

  This probably is not the father and mother of Henry Sherman. He lived in Yaxley and was called "Gentleman". He became an attorney-at-law with a large practice and served as a Deputy Sheriff in 1540 and 1546 and church warden of Yaxley whose parish now owed its allegiance to the King of England instead of the Pope of Rome. He was a wealthy man, possessing the manors of Royden and Roydentuft at Royden and Bessingham and other manors and landed estates in the vicinity. A manor, incidentally, may contain one or more villages or hamlets or only part of a village. It is a noble sort of fee, always claimed by prescription:i.e., by long continuance of time beyond the memory of man. Thus Thomas' ownership of these manors confirms our belief that our family had lived in this area for generations. Thomas and Jane had 10 sons and all except one perhaps, married, and were still living in 1551 when he died and was buried in Yaxley.
