Agnes2

Died September 1627

Notes

1    His son William left a will in 1612 naming, along with three daughters, an apparently adult son.

2    Left a will in 1627 listing his daughters. His grandson was admitted to Hollinghow and Yeathouse in the same year.

3    In the Percy survey of 1578 a Henry Nicholson is listed as the tenant of two properties, probably the two halves of Hollinghow, where he is listed as the tenant in the 'Eskdale 24 book' of 1587.

4    The Eskdale 24 book of 1587 lists Edward Woodend and Chris Hartley as tenants of Yeathouse - presumably Henry bought  or otherwise acquired the tenancy between then and 1612. (Margaret Russell believes he married twice - his first wife could have been the eldest daughter of Edward Woodend who might have had no sons, or ditto relative to Christopher Hartley).
